Summary:
With a striking peculiarity, Jallikattu is a sport that’s rustic and unique. Amidst all the chaos, inside a shady coconut farm, a pair of well-grown Jallikattu bulls grazes idly, their massive humps gleaming in the afternoon Sun. The Jallikattu bulls belong to the ‘Pulikulam’ breed and are generally ferocious. Numerous black flags flutter on shop roofs and treetops across the town, signalling protest against the ban on Jallikattu.
