Dhoop sticks, also known as incense sticks, are slender wooden sticks coated with a mixture of aromatic substances, such as herbs, resins, and oils, that produce a fragrant smoke when burned. They are commonly used in many cultures and religions for various purposes, such as for spiritual and religious ceremonies, meditation, yoga, and aromatherapy. In India, for example, dhoop sticks are used in Hindu temples, homes, and during festivals as a way to purify the air, create a peaceful atmosphere, and pay respect to the deities. The fragrance of dhoop sticks is believed to have a calming and soothing effect on the mind and body.
