Bail Pola : A festival dedicated to Bulls for his hardwork.

Bail Pola : A festival dedicated to Bull for his hardwork.

Have you at any point seen yellow-hued bulls designed with trimmings? What'll be your first idea in the event that you saw such a bull?

Have you known about a celebration that is commended by enlivening and adoring bulls?

I surmise the appropriate response will be 'no' in light of the fact that the celebration of Bail Pola isn't as well known as holi or Diwali, the two of which are commended the nation over. Bail Pola is watched uniquely in the provincial zones of specific states like Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. And still, after all that, it is a significant piece of the remarkable and huge Indian culture.

Bail Pola Maharashtra 

Bail pola is a fair for ranchers to offer their most profound appreciation to bullocks which drive their furrows with the goal that ranchers can plant seeds and win a living. It is a day when bullocks are loved for the thorough diligent work they do in the field, to start the seed planting process and fulfill human appetite. 

Having been conceived and raised in a urban city with no information of the cultivating calling, I barely thought about this celebration in my youth days. Be that as it may, regardless I recall an occurrence from in those days. It was the day after a Bail Pola festivity. I had went with my mother to the sanctuary. In the region of sanctuary was an open land with grass. There, I saw two bulls, hued yellow and wearing adornments. Being a little youngster, I was flabbergasted after observing them and began envisioning a wide range of purposes behind the equivalent.

The principal reason I thought of was rangpanchami. On rangpanchami, we toss water and shading on one another. So I envisioned that even the bulls had praised their rangpanchami as were shaded. However, again I figured by what method can four-legged creatures toss shading at one another? Thus, this explanation was rejected.

Taking a gander at the adornments worn by the bulls, another idea came up – marriage. For wedding functions, turmeric is applied on couples and they wear decorations. Similarly, turmeric more likely than not been applied on the bulls and decorations worn as yesterday could have been their marriage. Yet, at that point I thought – who has the opportunity to lead ceremonies and wed bulls? So I disposed of that idea as well.

Before long, another idea flashed through my brain. I recalled when my companion fell into a sewer vent and all his garments wound up dark from the messy sewer vent. So I thought even these bulls more likely than not fallen into a pool of yellow-hued substance. Be that as it may, by what means can both the bulls fall in a similar pool? Furthermore, why just a large portion of their body was shaded?

Disturbed by such a large number of inquiries, I asked my mother, "For what reason are these bulls shaded?"

She answered, "Yesterday was Bail Pola and individuals enhance and love bulls thus they are shaded."

Her answer drew out another inquiry, 'Why and who loves bulls?' My mother was getting late for some significant work thus she disregarded my inquiry. However, this unanswered inquiry stayed torpid in my psyche.

A year ago, upon the arrival of Bail Pola, a couple of my seniors were wishing one of their clump mates a glad birthday. Indeed, even I thought it was his birthday and wished him. Later a senior revealed to me that they were prodding that person, considering him a bull for his massive body and in light of the fact that it was bull's day they were welcoming him. This occurrence awakened my lethargic inquiry and I solicited one from my bunch mates who originates from a town, "Do you think about Bail Pola celebration?"

Since she answered in the certifiable, I ended up curious and requested that her enlighten me all that she knew regarding it.

She revealed to me that it is commended by ranchers in the towns of Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh. It is seen on full moon day, in the long stretch of sharavana, as per the Hindu schedule. It is commended to offer appreciation to bulls and love them for all the hard field-work they do.

The bulls are taken to a waterway or water repository and given a decent shower. They are then shaded, embellished, studded with adornments, shawls and wreaths. At that point they are loved and bolstered great nourishment. Poranpoli and five different vegetables are given as a supper for the afternoon. Above all they are given finished rest for the whole day. At night, there is a parade in the town with music and moving.

Subsequent to hearing this, I felt dumb pretty much every one of the reasons my little cerebrum had compensated for shaded bulls, back in my adolescence. Since I know the explanation behind the celebration, I feel it is essential to offer appreciation on a solitary day as well as methods legitimate consideration and great eating routine for the bulls. As a result of them, ranchers feed us and we are sound. So here is a whoop to the bulls and Happy Bail Pola.
