Mustard seeds are traditionally viewed as a symbol of purity and auspiciousness. They are used in most South Indian dishes, as well as other cuisines throughout India. They are also a symbol of Saraswati Devi - the goddess of learning, knowledge and wisdom. White mustard seeds are beloved by Lord Sudarshana - the deity residing in Maha Vishnu's Chakra. The seeds are offered to him during Sudarshana Homa (Havan) - a traditional Hindu Fire Ritual - along with ghee, dried cow dung cakes, dried grass, dried coconut and camphor.
