The ancient Indian sport that pits crowds of brave young men against angry bulls is called Jallikattu. It is a traditional event celebrated primarily in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Participants attempt to grab the hump of a specially bred bull (often Kangayam breed) that is released into a crowd. It's a test of courage and agility, but also carries inherent risks.
