Virattu
Virattu is a traditional Indian sport that involves a competitive game of bull taming. Originating from the state of Tamil Nadu, it is often held during festivals and celebrations. Participants, known as Virattu players, attempt to grab the flag tied to the bull's horn while the bull runs freely, showcasing their bravery and skill.
The sport is deeply rooted in local culture and is associated with agricultural practices. It serves as a way to honor the strength of bulls, which are vital in farming. Virattu is not only a test of physical prowess but also a celebration of community spirit and heritage.
