Hinduism - What Is The Ritual Significance Of Cow Dung?

 


Cow Dung 

 is an abbreviation for "cow dung." Because of its roots in the holy cow, this is said to be both ritually clean and purifying. 

Smearing cow dung over a patch of ground may purify it (for example, while preparing a ceremonial location). 

Cow excrement is one of the components of the panchagavya (five products of the cow), which is drank to cleanse oneself of sin. 

Cattle dung is extremely essential for everyday living in India's communities, in addition to its spiritual importance. 

It creates a firm, dust-free, and easily cleaned surface that is superior to an earthen floor when combined with clay. 

It's also a dependable supply of fuel that even the poorest individuals can access.
