Kambala
Kambala is a traditional buffalo race from coastal Karnataka, where specially trained buffaloes race through water-filled paddy fields in a celebration of strength, speed, and rural tradition. Photographing Kambala was an exhilarating experience. I focused on capturing the raw energy of the race, the powerful movement of the buffaloes, splashing water, intense expressions, and fleeting moments of action. Freezing these fast-paced sequences in a single frame brought out the drama and spirit of this unique tradition.
