BAIL POLA 🐃 Maharashtrain Festival

[Ru_pali4]

Indian festivals are very unique and they have some meaning behind it. One such festival is BAIL POLA it is celebrated in the state of Maharashtra.

It falls on the day of PITHORI AMAVASYA ( the new moon day )in the month of Shravan according to Maharashtrain calendar (usually the month of August)

BAIL pola is a Thanksgiving day from farmers and people to there BULLS & OXEN for there hardwork and helping them in farming as a family members.

As a token of love and affection onthis day farmers give nice bath to bulls ,decorate them with makhar and other ornaments and give them rest.

Female members of family make PURAN POLI (sweet roti/sweet bread) and other delicious food and offer it to them. Then Male members of the family take there BULLS rally from whole village.

Now a days bulls are not found in metropolitan city’s therefore mud bulls are worshiped

The main sprit of the festival can be seen in villages where still this festival is celebrated with full excitement.

Very nicely described festival of Bail Pola @Ru_pali4

The relationship and bond between a farmer and his Ox is one of the most famous in India.

I often wonder if the Bull realizes it is his big day on Pola

I am sure he feels extraordinary on Bail Pola with all the decoration and special Nevaid

Thanks @Ru_pali4 for sharing this festival. I really enjoy seeing the picture of how you decorate the bulls! I knew that bulls were important in Indian culture, but not that they even got a festival to thank them.

Bull would definitely know it’s there special day though they can’t speak but they can feel the love and affection its owners has towards them.

Thanks @Melissa_Langlois for loving this post.

We have many festivals related to animals,birds and plants or so called nature as they are integrated parts of our lives.
