We say kalaputtu you say Bull Race :)

We mallus grow beard, wear lungies, talk our own English….. and we play kalaputtu,  in your language “ Bull race”.  But I haven’t seen kalaputtu in my life till last January, I should feel ashamed about that but at last I did it, I mean I saw it in real :P

In Kerala it happens just after the harvesting before fields are ready for the next reason.  The rules as far as I know:  you have to go for one round, who reach fastest is the winner and most importantly the rider shouldn’t fall/apart from bull.

Check some snaps i took

Entry to the place

You can see people holding a rope, this just make sure tat the bull running in the direction they want.

The Rider :) belive me its really hard and he must be very tough guy
