"the traditional Tigrada is part of the religious syncretism of the residents of the municipality, combining the Catholic celebration of the Virgin of La Asuncion and requests and gratitude for the rains. In addition to the dancing and wearing traditional costumes, as part of the tradition, the tigers catch people, mainly children, who playfully fight them."
