Dhoop cones are a variation of incense sticks. Unlike Agarbattis that are long and thin, Dhoop cones are literally cones of flammable material, sans the wood/ sticks. These Dhoop cones, when burned give out a pleasant fragrance that instantly improves the surroundings by making them calmer. Dhoop cones have been used in Hindu rituals for as long back as the Rig Veda. Even today, all Hindu temples outside and inside homes have incense sticks burning. Incense sticks like dhoop are so highly popular that they have become the poster image of Hindu rituals too.
More than any other time, it is during prayer time that one needs a gentle and quiet environment. With every day’s hustle bustle, it gets difficult to induce that piousness without help. This is where Dhoop sticks do brilliantly. Since Dhoop is usually made from biodegradable ingredients, herbs, and natural fragrances, purify the air, and relax the brain and the heart.
