Masala incense :

Ancestrally made from a thick paste formed by mixing eight or ten fragrant herbs with sandalwood, a wood powder called jigat, charcoal powder and soft resin. These ingredients are generally dry and contain very little water. The paste thus formed was shaped into cones and then lit to produce smoke known for its cleansing and spiritual power. Later, champa masala was developed by rolling the dough around a bamboo stick. The dry nature of the ingredient paste explains its longevity. Masala incense ages like wine and its potency does not diminish over time. The making of masala incense sticks is today an important cottage industry in India supporting women artisans.
