MYTH - Plastering the floor with cow dung is auspicious 

Actual reason- As cow is considered auspicious, just like that its products are also considered as auspicious. so there are many rituals that encourage the usage of cow dung to plaster the floor of the house. Our ancestors started all these practices most probably for protection against different types of insects and reptiles which are repellent towards the pungent smell of the cow dung. they did not have that much money to buy commercial disinfectants like we do now. But as the time passed by this became a ritual and we are still flowing it in spite of being educated in this contemporary/modern world.
