This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

Buffalo racing

Kambala is a traditional buffalo race held in slushy paddy fields in the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi in Karnataka, and Kasaragod in Kerala — the Tulu Nadu region. Pairs of buffaloes, yoked together and driven by a jockey, race down two parallel water-filled tracks, and the festival typically runs from November to March.

It is fundamentally a buffalo-racing tradition rather than a temple fair, classical music form, or tribal ritual.

Hence the correct option is Buffalo racing.
