<h2>What is Mattu Pongal Festival and How Used To Pamper And Torture Bulls?</h2>
Here few points we try to cover why Mattu Pongal Festival celebrates with Pamper And Torture Bulls
- Mattu or Mathu means cattle or bull and Mattu Pongal is the 3rd day of Pongal festival of the cattle.
- It’s a sort of thanksgiving to cow which provides milk and organic manure or fertilizer and bull which draws the plough.
- Cows and bulls are vital to the development of rural economy of India.
- In the morning, when the cattle are bathed, they are decorated. Horns are painted and crapped with special metal caps.
- This sport was very popular in rural Tamil Nadu and the tradition seems to be dying these days due to protests from animal activists.
- Young men try to control the bull barehanded and in the process hurt themselves and the bulls.
- In Andhra Pradesh, Mattu Pongal is similar to Kanuma Festival.
