A young bull named Odungakudiyar grazes peacefully in Sekkipatti, a village in Madurai district. This temple bull becomes a star during jallikattu season, wandering into arenas amid cheers. Sekkipatti stands out for its unity—Hindus and Muslims live without caste or religious divides, sharing rituals and festivals. At the Muthalamman temple, Muslim families are temple donors. "We call them using terms of traditional familial kinship like mama (uncle) or macchan (nephew)," says villager M. Karthikeyan. Nearby Odungakudiyar Dargah is another sacred site where locals perform ceremonies and offer thanks, blending traditions. Villagers explain the name comes from a legend where a bull was told to be offered to Odungakudiyar, brother of the deity Karuppanasamy. The dargah, protected as village property, is being renovated with contributions from all. Historian G. Sethuraman notes that unlike North India, where Muslim invasions bred religious conflict, South India's Islamic influence came through trade and peaceful cultural exchange, allowing rich syncretism. Documentary makers Tamildasan and V. Thavam highlight that despite having just 40 Muslim families among 3,000 Hindu families, Sekkipatti thrives on harmony. Muslims join Hindu temple feasts, and Hindus attend dargah festivals. This shared faith and respect keep centuries-old friendship alive in Tamil Nadu.
