According to Indian Mythology, it is a way of life to evoke the blessings of Almighty for the victory of good over evil. All evil thoughts and portents had to be driven out and the atmosphere cleared of all evil smells. Thus the habit of burning incense, barks and herbs formed a part of rituals.

Our sages and ancestors in which they refer to HAVANA SAMAGRI have found a well-defined method. A mixture of odouriferous substances described in Havana Samagri was made available as Dhoop mixture. For convenience these mixtures were rolled over a bamboo split, which later came to be known as AGARBATHI.

There are 16 different modes of spiritual and devotional offerings made on special occasions, which are described in the Agama Shastra. Later agarbathies has become a custom which has been passed on from generation to generation Agarbathi / Incense / Joss / Dhoop Sticks and so on.

All incense sticks are hand rolled which symbolize the traditional knowledge passed on through generations. Agarbathies are the most convenient form of spreading perfume and fragrance.They are quite a safe method.
