1997, Mangalore, India — Traditionally, peasants let their buffalo run the road home from the fields at the end of a day’s work, thus yeilding to today’s buffalo runs. Today, the runs attract crowds of thousands between the months of October and March, particularly in the region of Dakshina Kannanda.

A contest buffalo can cost as much as 300,000 rupies, sometimes more. — Image by © Thierry Rousseau/Sygma/Corbis
