The history 

Incense sticks and dhoop burning have been in India since the Neolithic and Chalcolithic eras. The Vedas (Atharva and Rig) mention the importance of burning them. India has a rich history of creating these incense sticks and dhoops from various natural ingredients for every occasion. Burning them in temples or your pooja ghar at home is a regular affair for Hindus. Trade with the outside world, like the Middle East and the Far East, impacted these items’ creation. There is an Ayurvedic background to the use of incense sticks and dhoops.
