Traditional cockfighting in India

A traditional cock fight takes place at the Jonbeel Mela festival in the Morigaon district of Assam, some 60km from Guwahati, in northeast India on January 20,2023 . Hundreds of Indian tribal communities like the Tiwa, Karbi, Khasi, and Jaintia gathered from their native encampments in the nearby hills to take part in the festival to exchange goods through an ancient barter system rather than money.
