"Not a game,Its a emotion"
Jallikattu, also known as sallikkattu, eru thazhuvuthal, or manju virattu, is a traditional sport that takes place in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The event involves the release of a bull, usually of the Pulikulam or Kangayam breeds, into a crowd of people, who then try to grab the hump on the bull's back with both arms and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. The participants hold on to the hump for as long as possible, attempting to bring the bull to a stop. In some cases, participants must ride long enough to remove flags on the bull's horns.
