Large Laxmi Dhoop Incense Smudge Sticks Soft and Mouldable Pooja

Laxmi Dhoop is a soft, very dark brown / black incense originally designed to be burnt as a pooja (a ceremony or offering), in honour of Laxmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity.

It looks like small sticks of liquorice, but has a texture similar to slightly sticky plasticine… so you can mould it to whatever shape you like, although it burns best as a stick or thin cone.

Aroma

The fragrance is fresh and slightly resinous, consisting of loban (benzoin), with a touch of bergamot and lavender.

*Dhoop is a typical Indian incense and has a very particular aroma. Those unfamiliar with it may be easily put off.*

Suggestions For Burning

Laxmi dhoop sticks are moist and mouldable.

Peel off a single stripe and then cut 30mm sections, then place a section firmly onto the provided metal holder and light.

It is important that the top of the stick be glowing before you put out the flame. Other wise, it will not burn through.
