Description
Jallikkattu Festival
An ancient sport called “Embracing the Bull” has now been redefined as Jallikkatu, in which Bulls play an important role. To earmark the harvest season and as a thanks giving ceremony to the bulls which have been an essential companion of any farmer, Jallikkattu is being celebrated. This has been in practice for more than 1500years as mentioned in the Tamil literatures.
Jallikkattu is normally celebrated during the Pongal festival during January or the Tamil month Thai. The third day of the four days festival is called as Maattu Pongal. The bulls are decorated with flowers and special poojas are done for them. Farmers thank the bull for a good harvest and also pray to them for the ensuing season with better yield.
