Pongal is traditionally associated with the practice of Jallikattu, a bull-taming sport. Jallikattu takes place during the four-day Pongal festival in Tamil Nadu, celebrating the harvest season. During the festival, bulls are released, and participants attempt to hold onto their horns or tame them, symbolizing strength, bravery, and the bond between humans and animals. Jallikattu has deep cultural and agricultural significance, showcasing the region's traditions and unity, while also promoting rural sportsmanship and respect for nature.
