About this piece
Camphor (kapoor) is lit at the end of aarti in most Hindu homes. This is Mangalam's pack of white round tablets in a 100 g clear plastic jar with a red lid and a yellow and orange label.
The seller says the tablets burn completely with no ash or residue. The page also describes a purity test: pure camphor burns without sparking and leaves nothing behind. The maker is Mangalam Brands Private Limited, with a factory in Khalapur, Maharashtra.
How it is used
A tablet or two is placed in a small camphor holder or on the aarti plate and lit during aarti, and the flame is then shown to the deity. Camphor is also lit before ending a puja in many homes.
Looking after it
- Keep the jar closed, in a cool place.
