Pola (poda)
Just like another interesting festival pola is another fascinated festivals in Maharashtra especially among farmers, in 2018 it on 9th September, it is amazing festival when all farmers gathered & join each other at one place in village basically near a temple in their own villages because it is celebrated in whole Maharashtra. All farmers come with their pairs of the bull’s no matter this festival is celebrated for bull’s because in whole year they just work harder for their leader i.e. farmer who fielded crops in any season in any situation bulls are like god for a poor farmer because it is the main source of farmers income in nowadays too. I really don’t know any religious story behind this but as India is the country of farmers this is one of the enthusiastic festivals in Maharashtra.

On this day the farmers which rear bulls are beautified their bulls and after celebrating festival come in pairs to all village houses, all women’s are waiting to pray the bulls and serve them various food items and dishes like vada Bhat & kadi (rice & patty of dales) and Puran Poli (chapatti made of dal and sugar mixture).

Moreover after this festival the next day is called Tana Pola (pods) means the pola of small children who brought their bull which made up of wood to various homes in village and they take them some money or chocolate just like hallowing in west countries but here there is no meaning of fear and hallowing is in night but tana pola is at the day time.
