Cotton for the Diva Bati (spiritual candle)

Vazira Hirji
From cotton a thread is produced and used to make the material that Hindu people use when making `Diva Bati' (Diva Bowl) for a Jyoti (offering & prayer).
For the jyoti, the cotton is rolled into a candle-wick and put in ghee. This is then lit. You can use it at home or the priest uses it in the Mandir (Hindu Temple).
