Cow Dung Cakes
Ksheerdham Cow dung cakes are made from Gir Cow’s dung. Burning the same is believed to kill germs, insects, micro-organisms. It's been used in traditional Indian households during yagyas, rituals, etc.
Cow dung cakes are used while performing Agnihotra. The cowdung cakes are anti-pollutant and have anti-radiation properties, so the burning of cow dung during the Homas also purifies the air.
