Kanuma, the day after Makara Sankranti, is the cattle festival: bullocks and cows are washed, their horns painted and garlanded, and the farm animals are fed before the family eats. In coastal Andhra it is the day of the traditional feasts and (illegally) of cock fights; Mukkanuma follows on the fourth day.
