Jallikattu, also known as sallikkattu is a traditional sport of Tamil Nadu that is celebrated on the third day of Pongal – Mattu Pongal Day. (Usually it falls on January 16.) The history of this bullfight dates back to 400-100 BCE when it was played by the Ayars, an ethnic group in India. The name is coined from two words, Jalli (silver and gold coins) and Kattu (tied). A bull is let loose among a crowd of people and whoever tames it will get the coins tied to its horn. The people who participate in the sport try to hold on to the animal’s hump to stop it.

vehicle tracking systems allow you to track vehicles in real-time as one of the most basic functions. Other functions include driver behaviour analysis, vehicle maintenance reminders and journey history, along with facilitating fuel management and dispatching.

Jallikattu is essential to every rural farmer of the state as it is an opportunity to flaunt the strength of the bulls and the love they have for their cattle. Tamilians do not consider it to be a leisure sport. It is a tradition that never fails to establish a self-sufficient, hard-working, and solid Tamil culture. It also symbolises the amazing "man and animal" relationship as farmers consider these bulls to be a member of their family. The rural areas of Tamil Nadu are no longer synonymous with the old agrarian life because of the migration of the youth from villages to metro cities. This festival creates a nostalgia for ancient times in rural areas since the state is going through rapid urbanisation. The participants are also driven by this nostalgia, a longing to return and relive the old days.
