Visitors at this year’s Bali Yatra in Cuttack are once again being treated to unique and eye-catching innovations, and the latest sensation is a pair of slippers made entirely from cow dung.
Priced at Rs 900, the slippers are being sold at a stall in the ORMAS area of the fair. The seller claims that wearing them can help cure ailments like diabetes, drawing curious crowds and sparking lively discussions.
According to the maker, the process begins with drying cow dung and grinding it into a fine powder. It is then mixed with moringa (drumstick) paste to create a thick substance, which is molded into slippers. The same mixture is also being used to craft tissue papers, mobile stands, clocks, idols of gods and great personalities, and various Vastu items.
