Vibhuti Bhasma

Description

Vibhuti, also known as Bhasma, is a holy ash widely revered in Hinduism, especially by Lord Shiva devotees. Traditionally prepared from the sacred fire of homas or havans, it is believed to carry immense spiritual energy. Applied to the forehead, chest, and arms, Vibhuti serves as a mark of divine grace and spiritual discipline.

The ash symbolizes the impermanence of life and worldly possessions. It reminds devotees to remain grounded, humble, and connected to the divine. Vibhuti is also offered to deities and sprinkled around sacred spaces to purify the environment.
