In Andhra Pradesh, Kaanum Pongal is known as ‘Mukkanuma’ and is commemorated through cattle worship.

Enraged Shiva cursed Basava, telling him that he would have to till the fields to help people grow more food.As a result, this day is associated with cattle.

Pongal’s final day is known as Kaanum (or Kanu) Pongal. Leftover sweet Pongal and other food, as well as betel leaves, betel nuts, and sugar cane, are spread out in the courtyard on a washed turmeric leaf on this day.
