Hello everybody Ji,
Recently, I had a chance to visit famous 'maihar-temple' in Madhy-pradesh (MP), where i found women cooking with 'cow-dung' on road side. Any-where else has ever witnessed such a thing. Please do share your views and experiences. have a great day.

It looks very colorful. I have never been in India.
It looks similar with fire cooking in other countries.
I have to say that I love colorful Indian woman clothes.

In rural Maharashtra, families use dry 'cow-dung' and 'buffalo-dung' cakes (called 'sheni'), in which fresh dung is mixed with unused hay and patted into flat 'cakes' about the size of a football and allowed to dry in the Sun.

These are routinely used for cooking, in an open stove, sometimes along with bits of firewood.
They are economical and a very clean source of fuel.

In case you are wondering, they have NO smell whatsoever and the fumes they give off have a rather pleasant aroma.

Food cooked on an open stove tastes a thousand times better than cooked on a gas stove. You can take my word for that.

Hi there,
I was in India or sometime too.. and I have evenhad a chance to live in the village during my visit as my granddad is fom the village, he practices agriculture. During my stay I have seen the local village women make this dry cow dung by gathering the cow dung and rolling them into balls with hay.. they then flatten out the cow dung let it dry in air and then use that as fuel for their clay ovens. It doesnt have a smell actually which i was quite suprised. Another practice i witnessed was that the women also dissolved the cow dung in water and sprayed it on their front door steps and mud homes as a way of warding of insects!

Hello dhevasena Ji,
Thanks for compliments in positive fashon. In fact, cow-dungs made out of Cow have special characteristics like free from radio-active waves. It purifies house, why they do outside is reason that insects are kept outside house. Thanks. Have a good day. rasp
