Kida Muttu - 2022
Place: usilampatti, madurai.



Kida Muttu, also known as Ram Fighting, is a traditional Tamil game that involves the playful interaction between two rams (male sheep). This game is typically played during the Pongal festival, which is a harvest festival celebrated in Tamil Nadu, a state in southern India.

In Kida Muttu, two rams are selected and their horns are adorned with brightly colored ribbons or cloth. The rams are then released into a designated arena or field, where they engage in playful combat. The objective of the game is not to harm or injure the rams but rather to showcase their strength and agility.

During the game, the rams lock horns and engage in a shoving match, attempting to push each other backward. Spectators gather around the arena and cheer for their favorite ram, creating a lively and festive atmosphere. The game continues until one ram retreats or is pushed out of the arena by the other ram.

Kida Muttu is primarily a form of entertainment and a display of the rams' strength and fighting prowess. It is deeply rooted in Tamil culture and has been passed down through generations as a traditional practice. However, it's important to note that the treatment and well-being of the animals involved should be a priority, ensuring that they are not subjected to harm or distress during the game.
