A car owner in India has gone to extreme lengths to protect her vehicle from the punishing summer, as the mercury in the western city of Ahmedabad crosses 45 degrees Celsius.
An image of her car being shared on social media showed her Toyota sedan completely slathered with cow dung to keep it cool in the hot weather, local media reported.
“Best use of cow dung I have ever seen,” wrote Facebook user Rupesh Gauranga Das after sharing the images of the vehicle on the social media platform.
“To counter 45 degree heat temperatures and protect car from getting hot Mrs Sejal Shah has plastered her car with cow dung. Getting cool,” added Das, who said the photos were taken in Ahmedabad.
Parts of India have experienced heatwave conditions in recent days, with temperatures rising above 40 degrees Celsius.
