"jallikatu" Bull race in Palamedu (northern Madurai) during the Pongal Festival (harvest).
...funny and crazy
No animals are being hurt during those "bull fights", the teams just have to catch the bulls. When managing to catch one you win some prize; i have seen plastic chair or cupboard rewarded ;)
i have visited the infirmary and it can be nasty to be hit by a horn...
ps: no i am not Indian nor Hindu but Frenchman and Catholic ;)
are you hindu?
