VIBHUTI is the pure ashes of COW DUNG. Cow is considered as a Sacred animal in Hinduism and all material including bovine dung received from Cow is used. By burning cow dung Vibhuti is obtained. Pure vibhuti will have ash smell but people add some incense or scent for commercial purposes.-

Sometimes Vibhuti appear and manifest on statues of deities and gods on their own... this is especially prevalent in Sai baba devotee homes and Devotees of the Sri , the Mother Goddess.
