Cow Pies

As mentioned in a previous post, cow pies are an important part of the economy in India. They are an important source of fuel for the cold winters and for cooking.

Te woman in the picture next to the cows is taking naturall cow pies and flattening them and making uniform patties which are then placed in the sun to dry. Large areas, as seen in the field of cowpies picture, are used for drying. This takes place in cities and towns as well as throughout the countyside.

After drying the cowpies are stacked into building like structures and are covered with cow pie, for long term storage.

Enough said.
