there's also "makar sakranti" , ever heard of it ?

here its tradition to behead a til ka ladoo in the form of a goat, a crude goat shape.. I have no idea where that came from, it might be unique to us lot... warna the proper way is real goat, old dharmi style

rig vedic etc cow sacrifices were real too, it was always the bull that was revered.. cow to bhot baad me aayi hai.

Bull was sacrificed, but not for everyday food.

Bull was revered, Nandi, Bholenaath ki savari, and unka mitr, rakshak bhi.

Cow is fuss, apart from makkhan chori by the baby Krishn Ji..


nice, is there legend behind it ? must be ? .. sankshipt telling if you will !

I think it signifies fertility.
 

Significance of Mawa ni Boi on Navroz​

Mawa ni Boi is a sweet khoya and milk based dessert loaded with pistachios and almonds, moulded in shape of a fish. The fish is an ancient symbol of fecundity and regeneration, and no wedding or navjote or birthday or celebration is complete without fish, served in some way on the menu. Even the chawk patterns outside the house on Navroz have many intricate fish designs, symbolizing life and regeneration. Fish live in water, which is a symbol of life itself. Along with being the symbol of fertility, it is also a symbol of good luck for the Parsi community. Khoya is also known as mawa, mavo or Khoa, which is basically dried milk and is commonly used for making a variety of sweet dishes. It is readily available in many milk dairy's, but Parsi's usually make it at home, while some diligently purchase it from the Parsi Dairy farms. The sweetmeat is lined with silver varq which is edible, and gives a beautiful appearance to the fish shaped dessert. The delectable sweet is very easy to make. Just like any khoya barfi, one needs to knead the khoya with a handful of nuts and mould them lightly in fish patterns. Line them with edible silver, and flatten the top, after placing it on the plate. Garnish them with more nuts,and enjoy.
