Frequently Asked Questions

At Sourish Agarbati, we follow three generations of traditional incense craft. Every stick and dhoop cone is made using genuine natural ingredients:

• Natural Botanical Resins: Pure gum loban (benzoin resin) and therapeutic gugal.
• Herbal Powders & Sandalwood: Finely ground aromatic wood powders, camphor, and herbal blends.
• Pure Essential Oils: High-grade floral and oriental attar essences such as Chandan, Mogra, Rose, Jasmine, Lavender, and Oudh.
• 100% Charcoal-Free: We never use harmful chemical binders, artificial burning accelerators, or toxic black charcoal fillers.

This guarantees an authentic spiritual aroma that cleanses the air and uplifts your senses.

Yes, absolutely. Because our products are formulated with pure botanicals and devoid of harsh synthetic charcoal, they produce smooth, white aromatic smoke that doesn't cause throat irritation, breathing heaviness, or dark residue on temple walls.

They are safe for daily use during morning prayer, evening Aarti, yoga practices, meditation, and in air-conditioned living spaces with normal room ventilation.

Burn times vary slightly depending on ambient airflow and stick thickness:

• Standard Handcrafted Agarbatti Sticks: Approximately 45 to 60 minutes of steady, uniform burning.
• Gugal & Chandan Dhoop Sticks: Approximately 35 to 45 minutes with intense, slow-releasing fragrance.
• Backflow Dhoop Cones: Approximately 25 to 35 minutes of continuous cascading smoke effect.

Even after the flame and ember have completed burning, the natural fragrance continues to linger pleasantly in the room for several hours.

Backflow Dhoop Cones are specially designed incense cones with an internal hollow channel running through their core. Unlike regular cones where smoke rises upwards into the air:

• As the cone burns, smoke cools inside the central chamber, making it denser than the surrounding warm air.
• When positioned over the hole of a decorative backflow burner, the aromatic smoke flows smoothly downward like a picturesque waterfall into the burner base.

We offer popular fragrances like Chandan, Gulab, Mogra, Lavender, and Firdous backflow cones, which are widely popular for gifting, home décor, and stress relief.
