Incense and dhoop in the Durga Puja ritual
Fragrance is woven into pujo. The dhunuchi naach is danced at the evening aarti with clay burners of smouldering dhuno resin and coconut husk, and dhupkathi is lit at every home altar. Aadhya's sticks are not dhuno, but for home worship during the festival, resinous blends such as bakhoor and oudh dhoop carry a similar warm, smoky depth.
Why these fragrances
- Arabian Bakhoor Luxury Dhoop Sticks: Warm, resinous and smoky, closest in spirit to dhuno.

Frequently asked questions
What is dhuno used in Durga Puja?
Dhuno is a natural resin, traditionally from the sal tree, burned on coconut husk in a clay dhunuchi during the evening aarti and the dhunuchi naach.
Which incense is good for Durga Puja at home?
Sandalwood and rose are classic for the home altar. If you love the smoky character of dhuno, try a resinous bakhoor or oudh dhoop stick.
Does Aadhya deliver to Kolkata before Durga Puja?
Yes. Kolkata orders typically arrive in 3–5 working days after dispatch from Hyderabad, so order at least a week before Shashthi.
