jallikattu
Jallikattu (Tamil: சல்லிகட்டு, ''callikaṭṭtu'') also known Eruthazhuvuthal (Tamil: ஏறுதழுவல், ''ērutazhuval'') or Manju viraṭṭu (Tamil: மஞ்சு விரட்டு), is a bull taming sport played in Tamil Nadu as a part of Pongal celebrations on Mattu Pongal day. Bulls are bred specifically for the sporting event and a specific breed of cattle bred for this purpose is known as "Jellicut". In May 2014, the Supreme Court banned the sport citing animal welfare issues.〔J.Venkatesan,"(Supreme Court bans jallikattu in Tamil Nadu )," ''The Hindu'', 8 May 2014.〕
==History==
Jallikattu, which is bull-baiting or bull cuddling/holding was a popular sport amongst warriors during the Tamil classical period. Bullfighting was common among the ancient tribes who lived in the ‘Mullai’ geographical division of the ancient Tamil country. Later, it the sport became a platform for display of bravery and prize money was introduced for entertainment. The term "Jallikattu" originated from the words "Jalli" and "Kattu", referring to silver or gold coins tied to the bulls’ horns.〔 A seal from the Indus Valley Civilization depicting the sport is preserved in the National Museum, New Delhi. A single painting discovered in a cave about 35 km west of Madurai shows a lone man trying to control a bull and the painting, done in white kaolin is estimated to be about 1,500 years old.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bull chasing, an ancient Tamil tradition )〕
