We all know that Sankranti is a harvest festival. India is a country where cows are treated like mothers and Godly figures. On the day of Kanuma, farmers decorate the cattle and worship them. Cattle will be taken to the temple and Govardhan puja will be performed. People offer prayers to the cattle and the procession of decorated cattle will take place in the villages. Kanuma is celebrated as a thanksgiving to the cattle as they play a prominent role in farming.
