Dhuni

A dhuni is a sacred site in the ground or a handheld burner typically made of clay or brass. It is a process of using the element of fire to cleanse negativities in one's spiritual subtle system and the environment.
The dhuni is also a term used in Indian cuisine to describe the process of cooking food by placing smoking charcoal into the finished dish.
