Sonbhadra (Uttar Pradesh): In a belief to stay protected from diseases, Ghanshyam Bilas alias Patlu, a resident of Bichhi village in the Robertsganj Kotwali area takes bath with cow dung and often drinks cow urine.
People from across the village come to see him bathing with cow dung.
Ghanshyam told ETV Bharat that his grandfather inspired him to take bath with the cow dung.
"I have started bathing with cow dung from the year 2016. It helped me get rid of all my problems inside or outside," he added.
When asked about cow urine, Ghanshyam said he is very fond of cow urine and had used it very frequently during the year 2016-2017.
But due to the unavailability of cow urine these days, he uses cow dung more as it also contains cow urine.
"We know him since 2016-17. We see him daily taking bath at a handpump near the Shiv Temple. He drinks cow urine and takes bath with cow dung every morning," Dinesh Biyar, a local villager said.
"I advise people to take bath with cow dung at least once in a week. They will surely the same result which I have got," Ghanshyam Bilas said.
