Mortar is a material used in masonry to fill the gaps between blocks in construction. The blocks may be stone, brick, breeze blocks (cinder blocks), etc. Mortar is a mixture of sand, a binder such as cement or lime, and water and is applied as a paste which then sets hard. Mortar can also be used to fix, or point masonry when the original mortar has washed away. [1]
Gypsum mortar
The earliest known mortar was used by the ancient Egyptians and was made from gypsum. This form was essentially a mixture of plaster and sand and was quite soft

First, the phrase 'religions suggest idol worship' is wrong. Second, the phrase 'idol worship' is also wrong; The reasons: For the first-No religion suggests 'idol-worship'. For the second, an idol is not worshiped, only God is worshiped. People may then ask, are not temples housing gods and poojas performed? Yes, that is what people do for their ease of meditating upon an unlimited 'brahmam' bringing it within their capability to be meditated upon. The point to be noted is God is not the idol, but God is pervaded into the idol, as god is all pervasive. That is why the idols are known as 'archaavataara'. It may also be noted that in archavataara people believe that God gets into the idol, by their love and sincere aavaahana (request to pervade into it). An idol without this 'bhaava' (state of mind) is just a toy, as far as the worshiper is concerned (not from the angle of God, as in any case god is all pervassive) and not 'Archaavataara'. If one is able to meditate upon the limitless God without the aid of the idol, that is the ideal thing, but because all are not capable of doing it, they find it convenient to adopt a method that is within their capability. Now, worship of God is not the expectation by God, obviously. It is for the constituents of God to take a decision to realise the method to identify themselves with God. One such method is what the constituents themselves have designed. The matter ends there. It does not even require a religion or ritual. What is God after all? The Existence, which has manifested as all. Conversely, the sum total of all our energies denoted as infinite is God. Satyam Gyaanam Anantham Brahma.
