Cockfight is a very popular sort of entertainment in the rural areas of India. The state of Chhattisgarh is no exception to this. The state has a large tribal population inhabiting the Bastar District. The tribal people of Chhattisgarh are very fond of cockfights. A major part of rural rec-reation in the state of Chhattisgarh is cockfight.

Every tribal village in the state of Chhattisgarh has its own market place that is known as 'haat'. These weekly haats offers the tribal people and the villagers their daily needs. Apart from this, the haat also plays a major part in providing the villagers with the most famous form of their enter-tainment, the cockfights.

The tribal people wait eagerly the whole week for the 'haat day' to come. It is the day when the cockfights are held. The villagers meet each other and talk about the happenings of their rural life but the major draw of the haat day is the fight of cocks. It is a kind of leisure sport, which the tribal people love to indulge in.

Cockfight is a kind of sport in which two cocks fight between each other often until one of the cocks is dead. The people encircling the 'battlefield' encourage the fight and on each winning stroke, they exchange money.

Cockfight in Chhattisgrah is a traditional sport that the tribal population is very fond of and loves to watch the roosters fight. It is said that cocks are genetically aggressive towards each other. Cockfights aggravate the feeling and make an enthralling show. The tourists should watch the ab-sorbing sport, which forms a part of the Chhattisgarh Tribal Tourism.
