Incense from the South of India

Incense from South India. "Sugandha Swarna" has a flowery fragrance and is difficult to find in shops. However the "Dasangam" and "Athisiya Sambrani" are personal favourites. The Dasangam is supposed to contain extracts of herbs and is considered to cleanse home; The Sambrani is a favourite because it is a natural extract of the Styrax trees, unlike the benzoic Gum of other sambranis which contains chemical extracts; the box comes with the charcoal briquettes (see the pic) that you can light up rather than the traditional way of using coal which usually leads to tears!
