Let me begin by saying cowdung pies as they are called are now exported from India to the Western countries.
Having said that I know you will now not be ill at ease when I tell you that we kids helped mother to apply cowdung paste to courtyards in readiness for Christmas What you see in the image however are not us (lol)
The courtyard looked spotless with this application. Cowdung is a disinfectant. And surprisingly the smell that emanated from the dried up courtyard was pleasant and acceptable.
Cowdung has several uses. It is an excellent manure, the cowdung pies are used as fuel and now you know it is also applied to courtyards and floors.

This is very interesting, I didn’t know about these cowdung uses.
Sadly that is not so common these days
This can only be in Africa…

We use cow dung only for fertilization
These days even here it is only used as manure

Our elders knew better when it came to natural sources.
Amaze to know that Amazone is actually selling cow dung.

Hindus might to begin with
I mean who are the people who are buying it . Is it European, amaricans or indian?
I really would not know.
Some Hindu’s are even use it for religious purpose and some drink Cow urine as well

When I read the title I did recoil a little but perhaps it wasn’t quite as unpleasant as I am imagining!
That is the sad part that many do not know the benefits of cowdung Do you know cowding pies are now exported?
Very nice Post. Thanks for sharing
The cover image is a typical picture of country-side India. And seeing that only, I clicked the article to read. And yes, there are hundreds of uses of cow dung. And I along with my family are one of the users.
It will take some time for youngsters to accept its use.
The tragedy is that very few people actually understand its use. And even those who do, aren’t too inclined to accept it. They would prefer medicine by paying over the free cow dung they would get anywhere.
It is too late now to imbibe this culture in youngsters of today.
Yeah true. But the roots can never be replaced. Anyway, it was great to read your stuff. It actually helped me recall all that I enjoyed like a kid in the countryside.
