On this occasion, Mr. Devangan wished everyone happiness, prosperity, and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>In his message, he said that Pola festival is deeply connected with the tradition, culture, and folk life of Chhattisgarh. During Pola, farmers feed their bulls with herbal fodder and perform worship rituals, praying for protection from epidemics. The festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm by worshiping bulls and the Jata-Pora (clan\/family deities), praying for good crops and homes filled with wealth and grains.<\/p>\n<p>This festival highlights the importance of agriculture and livestock protection in our lives. Symbolically, clay bulls called Nandiya and clay utensils are worshiped at homes and given to children as toys, helping them connect with their soil and cultural roots.<\/p>\n<p>The Cabinet Minister also extended his greetings and best wishes for the Teej festival, celebrated by mothers and sisters after Pola.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raipur, August 22 The state\u2019s Commerce, Industry, Labor, Public Enterprises, and Excise Minister, Mr. Lakhan&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cg"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
