It was onset of monsoon and the cattle race festival is the most important festival to celebrate for the farmers. the festival is held for good monsoon and better yield. After a 3 hours journey in motorcycle from Kolkata to Jalabaria where the festival will happen. I reached the village and everyone seemed to crowd around a filed. I went closer only to find out the final race of the festival. It was a great race where the owner of the cows slides on the water in a wooden plank connected to three cows at a time. It signifies the great heritage in our farmlands and the people tend to live every moment despite the various hardships faced by the farmers.
