Lakkundi is historically famous for its 50+ temples and stepped wells constructed during the Kalyani Chalukya period.
2

Pair Kambala with the annual buffalo racing tradition of coastal Karnataka.
Kambala is a major traditional sport and seasonal festival celebrated in paddy fields across Dakshina Kannada and Udupi.
