PHOOL - Bambooless Incense Sticks - Kesar Chandan

• Handcrafted from the flowers offered at the Badrinath Temple, these bambooless incense sticks carry the blessings of Lord Vishnu. It is believed that in the 9th century, Jagadguru Shri Adi Shankaracharya discovered an idol of Lord Vishnu in the Alaknanda River and placed it in a cave. Later, in the 16th century, the King of Garhwal erected the Badrinath Temple and enshrined this idol within it. This is one of the sacred abodes that devotees visit during the Char Dham Yatra and it is believed that visiting this temple cleanses one of all their sins, purifies the soul and leads one towards salvation or moksha.
• Infused with the fragrance of Kesar and Chandan, auspicious elements of Hindu rituals, these bambooless incense sticks have a deep, woody, creamy fragrance that creates a sense of peace. You can burn them during your morning and evening prayers, offer prayers to Lord Vishnu and invoke His divine blessings from Badrinath.
• The pack consists of 27 units. Each unit burns for 55-60 minutes and brings a divine energy into the home, reminiscent of the spiritual energy that one can experience only at 10,170 feet, at the height of the temple itself.
