Veera Vilayattu
The Game of
Valour
Jallikattu, or the
Indian bull taming sport, had been an integral part of the life of the people
of Tamil Nadu since the Tamil classical period. It required the bravest of the
brave to take on the well-fed and well-bred bull, tame him and win laurels and
the people's hearts. J Suresh, a renowned,
photojournalist is organizing a comprehensive and productive
photography exhibition “Veera Vilayattu”
for the first time in India as a part of the tradition and culture of rural Tamil
Nadu.
The exhibition will be inaugurated by Kamal Haasan on 2nd
November 2015 at 10.30 AM and the
exhibition will remain open till November 8, 2015, daily 10am to 8pm. The venue of the exhibition
is Lalit Kala Akademi. Greams Road
This
exhibition showcases Jallikattu in all its glory and bravery and dedicates to salute the beast and the brave, as well as
the people who loved and treated the animal as a precious member of their
family, and those who thronged the rustic venues every year to celebrate the
ultimate showcasing of courage and sportsmanship.
