Who makes the Shiwalay Dhoop Sticks?

It is a Shiwalay own-brand product made to our formulation and packaging brief by a contract manufacturer. Made in Mysuru, Karnataka.

How do I use the Shiwalay Dhoop Sticks?

Light the tip, let the flame catch for a few seconds, then blow it out gently so the stick smoulders. Stand it in a dhoop dani or on a heatproof plate, never directly on the altar cloth. Carry the dani around the altar and through the house at the evening aarti. Keep the box closed so the fragrance holds.

How big is the Shiwalay Dhoop Sticks?

Box of 40 sticks, 7 cm each; weight 100 g. Measured on the piece as shipped; handmade items vary by a few millimetres.

How do I care for the Shiwalay Dhoop Sticks?

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.

Herbs, resins and woods, charcoal-free, no bamboo core; 100 g, size declared below
Shiwalay own brand, made to our brief

From the Shiwalay desk
Good dhoop leaves a soft grey ash and a fragrance that lingers after it's out. If the ash is black and the smoke stings your eyes, there's charcoal in it.

About this piece

Dhoop is thicker and slower than agarbatti, with no bamboo core, so all of it is fragrance. These are made to our brief with no charcoal, in three traditional fragrances: guggal, the resin most used in Shiva puja; chandan, sandalwood; and loban, the sweet benzoin many homes burn at evening aarti. There are 40 sticks in a box.

Material: Herbs, resins and woods, charcoal-free, no bamboo core
Origin: Made in Mysuru, Karnataka
Size: Box of 40 sticks, 7 cm each
Weight: 100 g

Why it's traditionally used

Dhoop is one of the sixteen traditional offerings of a puja, the fragrance offered after the flowers and before the lamp. Guggal is especially offered to Shiva, and many families carry smouldering dhoop through the house at the evening aarti.

How to use

Light the tip, let the flame catch for a few seconds, then blow it out gently so the stick smoulders.
Stand it in a dhoop dani or on a heatproof plate, never directly on the altar cloth.
Carry the dani around the altar and through the house at the evening aarti. Keep the box closed so the fragrance holds.

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.
Keep the lid or seal closed; volatile oils and fragrance fade in open air.
Store cool and dry, away from sunlight and the kitchen's heat.
