18^th October 2008 :: An eco-friendly cake

On Dussehra I posted a picture of Barley that we had planted in out home. One the religious ceremonies are over, we have to either immerse it in water or put it under a pipal tree. So I emptied the pots that were used to grow the barley and this is what I got— a perfect mud cake, the strands you see here are the roots of barley. Filling up lakes and ponds with sand is not a good idea so I emptied the pots in the garden downstairs and immersed only the barley.
