About this piece
Hem Precious Lavender is a lavender scented agarbatti from Hem, the Mumbai incense maker founded in 1983. The listing gives the stick count as about 120. The sticks are on bamboo and 25 cm long, and the seller says each burns for 35 to 40 minutes with low smoke.
The photos show a tall purple box with black sticks and lavender sprigs. It suits a household that likes a floral rather than woody fragrance.
How it is used
Agarbatti are lit at the end of a puja, during meditation or yoga, or simply to scent a room, and placed in a stand away from anything that burns.
