Lesser Known Sporting Venues
 

I'm always looking for a game or a match during my travels.

Yesterday I was watching the 2018 Junior and Cadet Table Tennis Tournament on the tube. After an hour I lost interest at the completion of a match between a Frenchman and an Indian. France won.

I little later I ventured out to view an approaching thunderstorm and suddenly heard what sounded like a crowd cheering. I identified the source pictured below.

Attachment 315534

The cheering continued intermittently until the storm arrived. The parking lot was filled with pick-up trucks. The crop in the foreground is rice.

What is going on here and how old is the "sport"?

You shouldn't need any more clues.

Dog or Cock fighting is my guess.
