Mysuru, Oct. 14 -- 'Hagga Senior', 'Hagga Junior', 'Negilu Senior', 'Negilu Junior', 'Kane Halage' and 'Adda Halage'

The Dasara Kambala races in Mysuru will be held in six categories, with 150 pairs of buffaloes competing on two parallel tracks named 'Vijaya' and 'Dashami.'

The categories are 'Hagga Senior' (14 pairs), 'Hagga Junior' (20 pairs), 'Negilu Senior' (36 pairs), 'Negilu Junior' (56 pairs), 'Kane Halage' (12 pairs) and 'Adda Halage' (12 pairs).

In the 'Negilu' category, the runner holds a lightweight, plough-shaped wooden or metal frame attached to the buffalo pair. The implement is a representation of a plough rather than an actual one and the category is generally meant for junior or entry-level buffaloes.
