History and significance:
Kanuma is an ancient harvest festival deeply rooted in the agrarian traditions of Telugu-speaking regions of India and is celebrated as the final day of the four-day Sankranti festivities. Historically, Kanuma marks a day of gratitude toward cattle and domestic animals, especially cows and bulls, which play a crucial role in farming and rural livelihoods.

The festival reflects the harmonious relationship between humans, nature, and animals, emphasising respect for the forces that sustain life and agriculture. On this day, cattle are bathed, decorated, worshipped, and fed special offerings, symbolising appreciation for their year-long service in the fields. Kanuma also signifies abundance, prosperity, and continuity of rural culture, bringing families and communities together to celebrate nature’s bounty, shared meals, and age-old customs passed down through generations.
