About this piece
The Devi Samarpanam set is an incense gift box. The seller says the scents are ones it links with Linga Bhairavi, a form of the Devi.
The box holds 30 hand-rolled sticks each of five scents: Kumkum, Turmeric, Chandanam, Neem and Jasmine. A wooden incense stick holder, called Yogini, is included. The photo shows the boxed set laid out with a small bowl of kumkum and a few flowers. It suits a home Devi shrine, or someone who wants to try several scents in one box.
How it is used
Incense is lit before or during puja in many homes. Place a stick in the holder on a steady, heat-safe surface with room for ash to fall. The seller links these scents with Linga Bhairavi, so the set is often chosen for a Devi shrine at home.
Looking after it
- Keep the sticks in their box, away from damp.
