As part of the tradition, farmers from Vengarayankudi, Palli Agraharam, Mavadukurichi and Peravurani commenced fresh ploughing event by worshipping God for good yields and rescue them from any untoward incidents during the cultivation all through the year.

Earlier, the farmers decorated the bulls, placed organic fertilisers, navadhanya seeds, jaggery, rice, fruits, coconut and flowers and offered them to the Sun God and made a few rituals and locked the plough with the bulls and commenced cultivation.

The event would be organised across the Delta region all through the Tamil month of Chithirai.
