The State’s team, Team Skyters, from the house of Global Media Box, with the support of the Tamil Nadu Tourism showcased a giant inflatable Jallikattu Bull Kite, symbolising the power, pride, and tradition of the State’s iconic sport. A vibrant kite emblazoned with the words ‘Vazhga Tamil’ (Long Live Tamil) in Tamil letters was also flown.
