Pola day — wash the bull, let it rest, say thank you for the field.
On the dark moon night of late monsoon, Maharashtra’s farming villages pause all field plowing to honor working cattle. Bullocks are bathed in rivers, adorned with vermilion and colorful horns, and fed sweet Puran Poli in gratitude.
A day of rest and sweet puran poli for the cattle — true wealth is treating the animals that plow our food with dignity.
