IT IS not every day that one can see cows walking on the road in the middle of an urban centre in the capital city. And so the unusual sight in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, brought out many curious onlookers including tourists.
The white cows, led by their minders through the crowd under the tent were significant and symbolic of the ponggal celebrations.
Under a white tent, 50 claypots on makeshift stoves made of bricks were brimming with a mixture of milk and rice.
Three people attended to each of the pots, adding ingredients and watching over the bubbling mixture.
The buzz of activities was all part of the Ponggal Festival 2016 organised by Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Small Indian Traders Association with the cooperation of Kuala Lumpur City Hall.
