Ingredients and Preparation

To make cow dung dhoop sticks, you typically need dried cow dung, natural resins like benzoin, guggul, and camphor, along with sandalwood powder. These ingredients are mixed together to form a dough-like consistency. The mixture is then shaped into sticks or cones and left to dry.
