Dhuni
Object in the Indian religions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dhuni is (according to the Indian religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc.) a sacred site in the ground or a handheld burner typically made of clay or brass. It is a process of using the element of fire to cleanse negativities in one's spiritual subtle system and the environment.
The dhuni (or dhunga) is also a term used in Indian cuisine to describe the process of cooking food by placing smoking charcoal into the finished dish.
