Dhoop sticks are a type of incense commonly used in Indian and Hindu rituals, as well as for meditation, relaxation, and spiritual purposes. They are typically made by mixing natural ingredients such as herbs, spices, gums, resins, and oils, which are then hand-rolled onto a bamboo stick. Unlike agarbatti incense sticks, dhoop sticks are thicker and shorter in length, with a denser composition that burns slowly and releases a more concentrated fragrance. They are often used in traditional Indian ceremonies and rituals, as well as in yoga studios, meditation centers, and homes to create a calming and peaceful environment. Dhoop sticks may come in a variety of fragrances, each with its own unique properties and benefits.
