A resident of Ahmedabad, in order to keep his car ‘cool’ amid soaring heat covered it completely with cow dung. Photos of the ‘cooling hack’ were shared on Facebook and they quickly went viral.
Facebook user Rupesh Gauranga Das, who shared the images, wrote, “Best use of cow dung I have ever seen.” He said they photos were taken in Ahmedabad, and added, “To counter 45 degrees heat temperatures and protect car from getting hot Mrs. Sejal shah has plastered her car with cow dung. Getting cool 😎”
The two photos showed that the sedan had been completely coated with cow dung.
Traditionally, in rural India, there is a common practice of applying cow dung on floors and walls allowing it to dry, as it is believed that coating it makes the structure remain warm in winters and cold in summers. Also, as it is a regarded as a natural disinfectant and mosquito repellent, the practice is quite common in villages.
Many BJP leaders have claimed that cow urine has various benefits.
