A fifth-grade girl in Madurai is training a bull for the upcoming Jallikattu event, which is set to take place during the Pongal festival next month.

馬杜賴的一名五年級女孩正在為即將到來的 Jallikattu 活動訓練一頭公牛，該活動定於下個月的 Pongal 節期間舉行。

The young girl, named Yazhini, has been working with the bull named 'Nanban' for the past three years, forming a special bond with him.

這位名叫雅茲尼的小女孩在過去的三年裡一直和這頭名叫「南班」的公牛一起工作，與他結下了特殊的感情。

Yazhini, who attends Crescent School and lives in Mangkulam village, comes from a traditional farming family where cattle rearing is a way of life. With the support of her parents, she has developed a passion for training Jallikattu bulls.

雅茲尼就讀於新月學校，住在芒庫拉姆村，她來自一個以養牛為生的傳統農業家庭。在父母的支持下，她對訓練賈里卡圖公牛產生了熱情。

Speaking to ANI, Yazhini said, "This bull's name is 'Nanban' (meaning friend), and I have been with him for five years. I consider him like an elder brother. When I go near him, he doesn't harm me and is always affectionate towards me."

亞茲尼在接受ANI 採訪時說：「這頭牛的名字叫『南板』（朋友的意思），我和他在一起已經五年了。我把他當作哥哥一樣。當我靠近他時，他不會傷害我。

Further, she said "Before the Jallikattu event, we provide him with training such as swimming and walking exercises. I have accompanied him during Jallikattu competitions. When he comes out of the Vaadi Vaasal (the starting point of the event), he plays aggressively with the bull-taming participants. After that, he calmly comes back home with me," Yazhini added.

此外，她還說：“在Jallikattu比賽之前，我們為他提供了游泳和步行等訓練。我在Jallikattu比賽期間陪伴他。當他從Vaadi Vaasal（賽事起點）出來時，他表現得很激進。”與馴牛參與者一起之後，他平靜地和我一起回家，」亞茲尼補充道。

Guided by her father, Yazhini developed an interest in bull training from a very young age as she actively took part in feeding the bulls and providing them with water.

在父親的指導下，雅茲尼從小就對公牛訓練產生了興趣，並積極參與餵養公牛並為它們提供水。

Yazhini's father Sivanesan also spoke to ANI and said, " I have two bulls. Since Jallikattu is approaching, I am giving them training such as walking exercises and swimming practice. If I ever have to go out, my daughter takes care of the bulls. My Bull participated in the last Jallikattu competition and won gold and silver coin prizes."

雅茲尼的父親西瓦內桑也對ANI 表示：「我有兩隻公牛。由於賈利卡圖即將到來，我正在給它們進行步行練習和游泳練習等訓練。如果我必須外出，我的女兒會照顧公牛。 我的公牛參加了上屆 Jallikattu 比賽並獲得了金幣和銀幣獎品。

With the Pongal festival approaching, bull trainers in Madurai are gearing up for the world-renowned Jallikattu event.

隨著 Pongal 節的臨近，馬杜賴的馴牛師正在為世界著名的 Jallikattu 活動做準備。

As the event draws near, bull owners are putting their animals through rigorous daily training, including walking, swimming, and 'mann kuthal' (a process where bulls develop their skills by digging their horns into wet earth and learning to attack when someone tries to catch their hump).

隨著活動的臨近，公牛主人正在對他們的動物進行嚴格的日常訓練，包括散步、游泳和“mann kuthal”（公牛通過將牛角挖入潮濕的泥土中來發展自己的技能，並在有人試圖攻擊時學習攻擊）。

Jallikattu is an age-old bull-taming event celebrated mostly in Tamil Nadu as part of Pongal celebrations.

Jallikattu 是一項古老的馴牛活動，主要在泰米爾納德邦慶祝，作為豐收節慶祝活動的一部分。

In Jallikattu, a bull is released into a crowd of people, and participants in the event try to grab the large hump on the bull's back, attempting to bring the bull to a stop.

在賈里卡圖，一頭公牛被釋放到人群中，活動參與者試圖抓住公牛背上的大駝峰，試圖讓公牛停下來。

The history of Jallikattu dates back to 400-100 BCE, when the Ayars, an ethnic group in India, played it.

Jallikattu 的歷史可以追溯到公元前 400-100 年，當時印度的阿亞爾族人演奏這種樂器。

The name is coined from two words: Jalli (silver and gold coins) and Kattu (tied). (ANI)

這個名字由兩個字組成：Jalli（銀幣和金幣）和 Kattu（並列）。 （阿尼）
