Everywhere on earth throughout history, incense has always been an important element in all cultures, religions and spiritual practices wether in temples, churches, sacred sites or homes. Incense is mainly used to honor gods, purify spaces, and accompany meditation or prayer. The aromatic smoke symbolizes an offering to the divine and a bridge between the earthly and the spiritual realms.
We are more than happy to offer the fine handmade and natural incense products of Phoolprasad, which embodies tradition, sustainability, community empowerment and nurtures the soul.
Here’s a deeper look into our natural incense products from Phoolprasad and why it stands out.
ABOUT OUR INCENSE AND PHOOLPRASAD
The incense is crafted from sacred flowers collected after prayers and ceremonies at the holiest sites and temples of Kathmandu, Nepal. These flowers, once offered in devotion, are given a second life as they are transformed into natural incense. This reincarnation of offered flowers is not only a gesture of respect but also a means to preserve the sanctity of holy heritage sites.
The artisans behind these creations are skilled women from local communities who have undergone free training to master the art of incense handcrafting. This initiative not only ensures the quality of the incense but also empowers these women by providing them with a fair wage and the flexibility to work from home, allowing them to balance their work and family life seamlessly.
Phoolprasad’s approach to incense making is deeply rooted in sustainability. By collecting and recycling the precious offered flowers, they play a crucial role in keeping the holy heritage sites clean. This eco-friendly practice reduces waste and promotes a cycle of renewal and respect for nature.
The fair wages paid per bundle ensure that the women can sustain their households while contributing to the preservation of their cultural heritage.
