At least 10 participants were left injured during a religious bull-taming festival famously known as Jalikattu that was organized in the Ariyalur district of Tamil Nadu in southern India.

The event was conducted with 500 bulls in participation but was organized illegally and stopped midway. The event had bulls brought by their owners from different district of the south Indian state. The owners came from Ariyalur, Thanjavur, Trichy and Perambalur to participate in the event.

Gold coin, bicycles and cots were put up as consolation prizes that drew almost 300 participants to register in the event.

Jalikattu is a famous bull-taming festival that has been prevalent in the south Indian state for almost 2500-years. It is celebrated during the third day of the four-day-long harvest season known as Pongal.

The event was organized for the first time in 2019 that injured 10 participants while playing the death game.

In the video, participants can be seen trying to tame a free wild bull as it tries to gore them down. The participants run along with the bull to control it but it shakes its head to knock down the participant in order to gore them.
