Cow Dung Cakes (Uple / Gomay) – Sacred Fuel for Havan & Religious Rituals

Trademark Class 31 under the NICE Classification covers raw and unprocessed agricultural products, animal-origin natural products, forestry goods, and natural materials used for religious or traditional purposes.

Cow Dung Cakes, also known as Uple or Gomay, are traditionally prepared from natural cow dung and dried for use in havan, yagya, homa, temples, festivals, and Vedic rituals. They are considered sacred and are widely used as a natural fuel base for sacred fire ceremonies, symbolizing purity and eco-friendly ritual practices.

Since Cow Dung Cakes are natural, minimally processed agricultural/animal-origin products, they are correctly classified under Trademark Class 31.

If your business manufactures, dries, shapes, bundles, or sells cow dung cakes for religious purposes, your brand should be registered under Class 31 to secure trademark protection.

This class is essential for gaushala-based product units, puja samagri suppliers, temple vendors, and natural religious product manufacturers.
