Maramadi is a type of cattle race conducted in Indian state Kerala. It also known as Kalappoottu, or pothottam. The race is a traditional event, usually with bullocks, held after the monsoon but before the cattle are needed for planting.[1]
In 2011 the Central Government banned the exhibition and training of bulls, and five other animals, as performing animals under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. In 2014 a court ruling held that this ban applied to the Kerala cattle race.[2] In 2015 the ruling was upheld on appeal to the Kerala High Court by the Cattle Race Club of India.[3][4][5]
