Durg: This time special lamps are being made for Diwali in Durg city, known as the Steel City. This time, the women of Kalyan Self Help Group are preparing special lamps made of cow dung to illuminate your homes. These lamps are being made from cow dung and multani mitti. The special thing is that these lamps are completely eco-friendly, that is, these lamps will neither harm the environment nor spoil your health.

In Hindu religion, both cow and dung are considered very sacred. It is believed that where cow and cow dung reside, Goddess Lakshmi resides there. Keeping this in mind, Kalyanam Self Help Group of Durg has made lamps made of cow dung, which people are liking very much.
