Should silver foil or sindoor be used when offering chola to Hanuman?
A

Answer

Silver foil (vark) is mostly associated with non-vegetarian sources. Buffalo intestines and similar materials are used in its preparation. Vegetarian silver foil is also made, but it is expensive. Its packaging bears the round vegetarian symbol. However, in today's environment, it is difficult to say how honestly it has been prepared. Therefore, it is not appropriate to use silver foil in the garments offered to Hanumanji.
