This Ahmedabad woman coated her car with cow-dung: Here's why
Cow dung-coated walls outside houses are a common sight in rural India as they help beat the summer heat. Taking this a step further, and in a rather weird development, Sejal Shah, a home-maker from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, covered her Toyota Altis with cow dung to keep it cool. Her car became an internet sensation after its photos, shared by a Facebook user, went viral.
Keeps car cool and also helps in preventing pollution: Sejal
While talking to the media, Sejal said, "It (cow dung) not only keeps my car cool but also helps in preventing pollution." "The harmful gases that are released while we use car AC increase the temperatures and contribute to global warming," she added. Notably, she has also decorated the car's edges with red and white rangoli like designs, grabbing everyone's attention on the streets.
Best use of cow dung ever, says Facebook user
After seeing the unique cow dung-coated car, Rupesh Gauranga Das recently shared its pictures on Facebook and wrote, "Best use of cow dung I have ever seen." The images went viral on social media and the car soon became an internet sensation. Several netizens have shared the pictures on Twitter and Facebook and appreciated Sejal's efforts. Noteworthy or cringe-worthy, you decide.
