A man holds his rooster before it partakes in a ritual cockfi ghting game in this file photo. Strapped on the rooster’s leg is taji, a slender steel blade. Despite the legal prohibition on gambling and the ongoing bird fl u scare, the profane version of the game, known as tajen, is still the favorite pastime of a large number of Balinese men.
