Maramadi, a peculiar ox race commonly held in the villages of Kerala, India during the harvest season.
A vast stretch of freshly ploughed paddy fields (kandams) form the ‘stadium’ for the race. Excited villagers crowd around the ‘stadium’ to cheer the participants. A pair of oxen managed by three persons forms a participating unit. Nearly 30 such units participate in the race which starts at noon and continues up to dusk. Like professional Jockeys these persons are also well trained and are experts in managing the oxen during the race. The oxen participating in for these races are specially fed and trained.
