Jallikattu in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu is held on January 15. It is a traditional spectacle in which a bull, such as the Pulikulam or Kangayam breeds, is released into a crowd of people, and multiple human participants attempt to grab the large hump on the bull's back with both arms and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. This event in the second decade of the month January is annual.

Jallikattu is a bull-taming sport that has traditionally been part of the festival of Pongal. The festival is a celebration of nature, and thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest, of which cattle-worship is part. The elite Jallikattu breeds test the strength and guile of farm hands in especially-constructed arenas.
Jallikattu has been known to be practiced during the Tamil classical period (400–100 BCE). It was common among the Ayar people who lived in the 'Mullai' geographical division of the ancient Tamizh Nadu. Later, it became a platform for display of bravery, and prize money was introduced for participation encouragement.
