Dhoop is incense paste with intense fragrance, once lit, it will produce fragrant smoke. Lighting of incense sticks is probably as old as India itself. From times immemorial, exotic aromas and scents have been a part of the Indian way of life, whether it be a religious offering or an aid to meditation. Incense transmits purity and develops romantic atmosphere. Incense is burnt to purify and cleanse the air of unpleasant odours, to signal the dawn or end of a day. It brings solace to the weary and stimulation to the mind and senses.
