The dance performance was held at the Mulshi area in Pune, Maharashtra and the bull has been identified as 'Bavreya', the pride of the village.
The event was reportedly a part of marriage rituals (tila) organised by Sushil Hagwane Yuva Mancha. It is believed that traditionally the ritual sees a procession with a bullock cart, but this event saw a twist. The bull was tied to the venue as a symbol of the bullock cart and the dance moves by Patil were witnessed.
