Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Pongal.
The bull-taming sport known as Jallikattu is prominently played in Tamil Nadu during the Pongal harvest festival. It's an ancient and integral part of Tamil culture, where participants attempt to grab the bull's hump and hold onto it for a certain distance or time. While often controversial due to animal welfare concerns, it remains a significant cultural event, particularly in districts like Madurai (Avaniapuram, Palamedu, Alanganallur), Pudukkottai, Tiruchirappalli, and Sivagangai.
