How to Select the Right Agarbatti for Every Puja

Most of us don’t really think twice before picking an agarbatti, but the right one can change how your puja feels every single day. If you do daily prayers, try using a long lasting natural agarbatti for daily puja instead of cheap, synthetic ones. Good incense burns slowly, smells gentle — not overpowering — and keeps the room feeling fresh even after you’re done.

If your puja room is small or you light incense indoors, watch out for heavy smoke. It can make the air feel thick and stuffy. That’s why it’s smart to go for a low smoke agarbatti for indoor use — you still get that calming fragrance, but without all the extra smoke that clings to your clothes or curtains.

One thing I always tell people: flip the pack and read what it’s made of. Hand-rolled sticks with herbs, wood powders, and natural oils are so much better than incense loaded with chemicals.

Here’s what I do:

• Stick to natural ingredients.
  
  

• Pick gentle scents like sandalwood or rose for everyday.
  
  

• Store them in a dry tin so they stay fresh longer.
  
  

A small change — like choosing a long lasting natural agarbatti for daily puja and a low smoke agarbatti for indoor use — really makes your daily rituals feel calmer and cleaner. Try it once — you’ll feel the difference.
