Gokashth

Gokashth (गौकाष्ठ) is the wood made from processed cow dung and it is used in cremation of dead bodies at cremation grounds. Fire made from Gokashth produces less air pollution than the fire of tree woods that's why Gokashth is being preferred more and now more emphasis is being given on its manufacture in Gaushalas.

Scientist at CPCB Dr. Yogendra Kumar Saxena is the inventor of Gokashth.
