    I love learning about other cultures. I had a good friend in university from Tamil Nadu. Hopefully one day I will be able to visit.

    What a wonderful lens to introduce us to this interesting festival. It's a shame that the bull fighting tradition had to stop, but sometimes these days governments put safety in front of tradition. Maybe that's the right thing to do, but sad nevertheless. Excellent lens, love the photos and other artwork, blessed.

    I noticed that Pongal must start tomorrow. Pongal sure looks like a grand way to bring in the new year.

    Great lens, but you knew that :) Just wanted to tell you that this is featured on the Hinduism, Yoga and Indian Culture Headquarters: http://www.squidoo.com/groups/Hinduism-yoga

    It's now transformed into a lensography and I would love it if you could feature it here, or lensroll it or something.

    I didn't know there were bullfights in India. Makes me wonder if that is where they originated. interesting lens. :)

    The Jallikattu sound similar to the bull fights of Costa Rica, where many young men chase after a bull, trying to touch it's horns or pull it's tail. Are the bulls of Tamil killed at the end of the event as they are in Spain?
