Descripción

Clarified butter used as both a staple food and for religious rites on the Indian subcontinent. Ghee made from cow's milk is used in almost all Hindu ceremonies including birth, initiation rituals, weddings, and gift-giving at death. Images of deities are washed in ghee, and it is used as fuel in holy lamps.
