| Video Discription | Sit back and watch this madness as this crowd attempts to tame raging bulls amids fear and stempedes. This festival is called Jallikattu or Eruthazhuvuthal or Manju Virattu. According to Wikipedia: "Jallikattu or Eruthazhuvuthal or Manju Virattu is a bull taming sport played in Tamil Nadu as a part of Pongal celebrations usually on Mattu Pongal day. This is one of the oldest living ancient sports seen in the modern era. Although it sounds similar to the Spanish running of the bulls, it is quite different. In Jallikattu, the bull is not killed and the 'matadors' are not supposed to use any weapon. It is held in the villages of Tamil Nadu as a part of the village festival. The festivals are held from January to July, every year.
