A Jallikattu is the South Indian version of the taming/running of the bull. It is held in the villages of Tamil Nadu on the eve of Mattu Pongal, one of the four days of the Pongal festival . In Jallikattu, an agitated bull is set to run in an open space. Several people, empty handed, try to tame it by controlling its horns. The winner gets a prize, which may be a T-shirt, a locker or a color TV. On most occasions, the bulls are intoxicated with alcohol. Several deaths and more than 200 serious injuries have occurred this year (2006).
