Vibhooti
Vibhooti refers to the sacred ash made from the remnants of burnt offerings, often associated with Hindu rituals. It is commonly used in worship and is believed to symbolize purity, spiritual power, and the transient nature of life. Devotees apply it on their foreheads as a mark of devotion and to remind themselves of the divine presence.
In Hinduism, Vibhooti is linked to the worship of Lord Shiva, who is often depicted with ash on his body. The ash serves as a reminder of the impermanence of the material world and the importance of focusing on spiritual growth and enlightenment.
