Dhuni

A dhuni is a special fire that is made during a Hindu religious ceremony. It is made by taking a big pot or bowl, putting some wood or charcoal in it, and lighting it on fire. People who are practicing Hinduism believe that this fire is very spiritual and has the power to cleanse and purify the environment around it.

During the ceremony, people put different things into the fire, like incense, herbs, and different types of offering. They believe that these offerings will help them connect with their gods and goddesses and that the smoke that comes out of the fire carries their prayers up to the heavens.

Dhunis are an important part of Hindu rituals because they help people connect with the divine and purify themselves. They are often used during festivals and celebrations, and people will community together around the dhuni to share in the spiritual experience. It is believed that the more people that come together to pray around the dhuni, the more powerful the spiritual energy that is created.
