About Thonse Padumane Kambala:

Thonse Padumane Kambala has a history of over a hundred years. It is said that 100 to 200 pairs of buffalos took part in the Kambala in the early 19thcentury. Due to the decline of agriculture in the area, the number has declined and about 30 pairs took part last year.

On Saturday night, as a custom, ‘Bobbrya Kola’ will be held at the ancestral Padumane house. Traditional drum beating by Koragas and them receiving the rice and coconut from the family is a tradition still followed by the family.

People cutting across religion, caste and creed will attend the festivities and celebrate it as a rural festival and once again Padumane Family has extended their warm welcome to all the District Kambala lovers to attend this event.
