Extracting Sesame oil from seeds using traditional 'Chekku' method, in Pushkar

From the archive record

At Pushkar Mela, one can come across things never seen before in one's life. In this video, the extraction of oil from Sesame seeds is being done using a traditional method called ' Chekku', where the bull walks around the base of the machine while moving the grinding hammer where the seeds are put and the oil is released. As you can see the bull is blindfolded so it just keeps on walking without distractions and keeping its rage under control. What you get is cold pressed natural Sesame oil.
