Most of the tamers were from Madurai and neighbouring districts. Both the bulls and the tamers underwent medical checks before the event. The tamers participated in batches, with 50 tamers allowed into the arena for each round, which lasted an hour. Those who successfully tamed bulls qualified for the final round.
A wide range of prizes were given to the winners, including gold coins, steel cots, bureaus, and utensils. Women who brought their bulls to the arena were cheered by the spectators and the organising committee.
The event left more than 50 bull tamers injured, but they were treated as outpatients on the spot.
Abisithar from Sivaganga district, who tamed 21 bulls, won the first prize — a car. Mani from Madurai, who tamed 18 bulls, secured second place and received a two-wheeler. Bala from Virudhunagar, who tamed 15 bulls, came third and was awarded an electric scooter.
The title for the best bull went to the Virudhunagar Karuppaiah Konar bull, which was awarded a car.

Global religious landscape: Muslims and atheists grew fastest; Christians still largest group
Representative AI image NEW DELHI: Islam is the fastest-growing religion, followed by Christianity, according to a report based on around 2,700 censuses and surveys. As per the report by Pew, the share of the muslim population across the globe rose by 1.8 percent to 28.8 percent, with the population growing by 357 million in ten years. While the global Muslim population grew faster than any other major religious group between 2010 and 2020, it was primarily due to the overall population increase in muslim-majority countries. Muslim shares rose by at least 5 percentage points in Kazakhstan, Benin, and Lebanon, while they declined by at least 5 points in Tanzania and Oman. Christianity experienced a decline in growth in both Europe and America, yet it remained the world's largest religious group. The global Christian population grew by 122 million to reach 2.3 billion, but their share of the world's population declined by 1.8 percentage points, dropping to 28.8%. More Christians now live in Africa than in Europe, according to the report, and most countries still have a Christian majority. Buddhism, a major religious group, was the only one whose share of the global population declined, and it had fewer people in 2020 than it did ten years ago. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Audiologists Furious About New $160 Device That Makes Hearing Crystal Clear Again risinghealthtrends Learn More Undo Hindus grew at a rate that was in tandem with the world's overall population.

What is religious switching Religious switching refers to a phenomenon where people who have grown up with a certain religion no longer identify themselves with the said religion. In most countries, a lot of young adults no longer identify themselves with a religion, either because they have grown up without one or because they have switched away from the religion in which they were raised. The 'religiously unaffiliated' category has had the largest net gain in the past decade.
