    Just Awesome pictures. First of all thanks Daiji....i feel sad that i missed the beautiful moments of the kambala. Every year I used to take part in the Kambala. Growing up from an agriculturist family I have a lot of attachment with this special event called kambala. Now I have some sweet memories with my friends going to the kambala. I really missed it. I hope I can make it to moodbidri for next years kambala. Congrats to all the winners. Just classic pics .Thanks daiji for the beautiful coverage.
