Shringara - Incense 10 Sticks

This red incense undeniably creates an amorous mood when burned, designed to be directed at a higher power. It combines the earthy and woody tones of patchouli, floral geranium, and light citronella. Shringara means romantic love in the ancient Sanskrit language. It is one of the nine rasas, or moods that are described in the Natya Shastra, an ancient composition on the performing arts. It is considered the most intimate mood attainable in relation to the Divine.

All ingredients are blended together into a paste and hand-rolled onto a thin bamboo stick, according to ancient traditional practice. Always made in a sustainable manner by artisans in India’s cottage country, it also provides employment to the local rural villagers. An auditor ensures there is never child labor, and all packages are made from 100% recycled paper.
