Why it's traditionally used
Fragrance is one of the offerings in a full puja, and itr is how it is given when sandal paste is not to hand. A drop goes on the deity's cloth or on a flower before it is placed at Lakshmi's or Krishna's feet, and in Braj temples it is dabbed on Krishna's clothes through the hot months. Families bring it out for Diwali, for weddings, and as a return gift at the end of a family puja.
How to use
- A drop on the wrist; a drop on the deity's cloth.
Care
- Dust weekly with a dry cloth; oil once a season with a drop of coconut or teak oil on a cloth.
- Keep away from damp walls and direct sun, which warp and fade wood.
- Wipe spills at once; standing water leaves white marks.
In the box
- 5 ml cut-glass bottle
