RAIPUR : A group of 13 women from Raipur's Gokul Nagar Gauthan have been crafting rakhis using cow dung. The demand for these rakhis has increased, prompting a businessman from Ayodhya to place an order for 3,500 rakhis.
The women, who are members of a self-help group called Pahal, say that they were inspired to make rakhis from cow dung after learning about the environmental benefits of using this material. Cow dung is a natural, biodegradable material that is also known to have antimicrobial properties. The women say that they are happy to be able to contribute to a more sustainable way of celebrating Raksha Bandhan.
