A dhuni is (according to the Indian religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc.) a sacred site in the ground or a handheld burner typically made of clay or brass. It is a process of using the element of fire to cleanse negativities in one's spiritual subtle system and the environment.

Sitting by the dhuni purifies one's vibrations. This you can find out for yourself. Whenever you have any kind of trouble, go to the dhuni and let it give you solace and uplift your spirit."
