In lots of Spiritual "Yagnas", the fire is burnt using dried Cow Dung and Ghee. It is said that burning Cow Dung with Ghee is one of the best ways to purify the home. Well scientifically, researches have found out that the cow dung purifies the air and also has anti-pollutant and anti-radiation qualities in the environment. Cow Dung is used in the Daily Puja, Diwali, Holi, Havan, New Home Puja, Govardhan Puja etc.. Fresh Cow Dung is used to worship. On the last day of the four-days Diwali Celebrations, Govardhan is worshiped by married women. They worship the cow dung, offer sweets and light diyas. It is one of the pujas done to worship Lord Krishna. During the Holika, Cow Dung made into round shaped flat balls which are used to burn the Holika up. In some of the cultures in North India, the face, tongue of Holika, the star, moon etc are also prepared by women. These fresh ones prepared of Holika are kept inside the house, and next year it is burned.Cow dung cakes have been used in traditional Indian households for yagnas, ceremonies, rituals, etc. It is used to purify air as it is said to release oxygen when burnt with ghee.
