Dhupaya incense is traditional to the indigenous people of the Newari Community in Nepal, who burn rope style incense daily during meditation practice and as offerings to the Gods, popular in both Hindu and Buddhist traditions. It is made by turning many different aromatic herbs foraged from the Himalayas into finely powdered form and then wrapping them in very thin strips of Lokta paper (an ancient form of Nepalese artisan made paper) and gently twisting it into what appears to be a rope-like incense.
Meaning: Citronella oils are extracted from different spieces of lemongrass plants, it is commonly known for its use as a mosquito repellent, but it also has many other qualities. Citronella is ideal for improving air circulation and is recommended for reducing mold and humidity in any space. Citronella's distinct aroma clears the mind and leaves you feeling revitalised. It is perfect for use as garden incense.
Packaging: Stupa Incense have created packaging with a lovely modern twist that beautifully honours an incense with an ancient tradition. The 100% recyclable lokta paper tube is cream coloured with black writing and a red icon style image of rope incense on the side.
