They take shower very early in the morning and wearing a new dresses. They make pongal and then worship Sun God for a successful harvest.

“Cow Pongal” is planned to celebrate tomorrow. Farmers who grow up their pet cows and bulls will take them to bathe and decorate their horns with paints. They also pray cows and bulls for thanking since they play a vital role by working hard to help the farmers to raise crops on their fields. On that day, one of the Tamils heroic games of “ Jallikkattu” (BullEmbracing) will be held. However, by order of the Supreme Court Jallikkattu has not happened in the last two years. Due to this, there is question aroused among people whether” Jallikkattu” would be conducted.
