On the second day of our Pongal festival celebrations, known as Mattu Pongal. In Tamil, the word "Mattu" means cow and this day of Pongal is for celebration of cattle, particularly bulls, cows and other farm animals that play a vital role in the agrarian society. The festival is thus an occasion when the fresh harvests from the fields are shared in the form of food and sweets not only with the community but also with animals. Cattle are also worshipped this day as a token of thanks for their service to the farm community.
