Cock-Fight, Ranchi

The birds fight each other, often till death, as the surrounding crowds cheer and exchange money with each winning stroke.
     It is said that the cocks that fight and win, bring wealth, happiness and prosperity for their masters. For this, they feed them with the paddy before sending them to the battleground.
