Agarbatti has been used throughout the world for a variety of reasons. Burning Agarbatti refreshes one’s heart and mind. The sweet and soothing fragrance of Agarbatti purifies the surroundings and creates a holy atmosphere for meditation and prayer.
It is very interesting to note that in spite of India’s numerous technological developments, even today Agarbattis are made in the traditional way i.e. the hand-rolled Agarbatti which is exported to many countries in huge quantities. There are two processes of making Agarbatti. (1) dip method (2) masala method -The former involves a procedure of making a dough or atta which is rolled into sticks, dried, and then dipped into fragrance oil. On the contrary, the masala method comprises of preparation of the dough according to the ancient method. The dough is a culmination of a special adhesive and fine powdered natural aromatic ingredients like herbs, spices, flowers, etc. The dough is hand-rolled on bamboo sticks. Persons who are entrusted with the job of rolling the paste on the stick sit cross-legged and have a low table in front of them. In order to obtain the desired smooth and even stick, the agarbatti is rolled on the table an extra two or three times. Then the Agarbatti is sent for quality checking and finally for packing purposes. After undergoing all these processes, the end result is the final and finished product namely the Agarbatti.
The present scenario is that due to lack of labor many manufacturers are switching from hand rolled to a machine-made Agarbatti. However, at Rajalakshmi perfumery Works , the ancient tradition of hand-rolled Agarbatti still continues because of the expertise of their skilled workers in this field.
In a nutshell, although the hand rolled Agarbatti is an ancient method and is a laborious and time consuming task the significance of hand-rolled Agarbatti is increasing day by day. The reason being one actually gets the true aroma from the Agarbatti which is irresistible. always keep the faith of our customers, giving the highest value to the QUALITY of our products and desirous to develop and promote our products under the brand name.
