Fragrances play a very crucial role in our lives. They impact the way we think, behave and feel.

When people think of incense, they usually think of sticks of incense that are lit and burned to produce fragrant smoke. But there is a different type of incense made from dried herbs or flowers and is used in Hindu and Buddhist ceremonies.

This incense is called dhoop, which is majorly used for traditional purposes and meditation. The traditional use of dhoop sticks is to burn them as an offering to the gods or as part of religious ceremonies.
