Parimal Pure Sandal Dhoop Stick 50 grams

Parimal Pure Sandal Dhoop Sticks 50g — the classic, familiar warmth of sandalwood

Sandalwood is the scent most people already associate with Indian incense, warm, soft and woody rather than sharp or smoky. Hand-rolled from sandalwood paste, this is the dhoop that needs no explanation to a customer who's ever set foot in a temple or a spiritual goods shop.

About this product

Dhoop sticks hand-rolled from sandalwood paste, traditionally called gandha, one of the five elements of classic Hindu worship offerings alongside flowers, incense, lamp and food. From Parimal Brand Agarbathi's Sacred Scents Natural Series. Dhoop has no bamboo core, so it burns denser and longer than a standard incense stick. Supplied as a carton of six 50g inner boxes (300g total), 8–10 sticks per inner box with a ceramic stand included.

Why it's used

Sandalwood has centuries of standing in Indian religious and meditative practice, burned in temples and homes alike, and used as a paste applied directly in ritual as well as burned as incense. It's the scent most closely tied to everyday devotional practice, less about a specific occasion and more about a steady, familiar presence in worship and meditation.

Who should buy it

• Religious and temple supply retailers wanting the most universally recognised dhoop scent
• Incense specialists needing a classic, easy-sell option alongside darker or sweeter blends
• South Asian grocery and gift retailers stocking everyday devotional products
• Yoga and meditation studios wanting a familiar, approachable scent for regular use

Pairs well with a ceramic or metal dhoop stand for retailers wanting a spare or a heatproof bowl of sand as the traditional alternative
