Austha Suganda Incense- Lokta Paper Box

Our new range of Nepalese incenses have been beautifully packaged in Lokta Paper boxes, which have been handmade by artisans using ancient papermaking techniques. They have a delicate string tie closure that wraps around a little wooden button, providing for a stunning, unique keepsake once the incense is finished.

Austha is a sanskrit word that roughly translates to "faith", whilst suganda translates to one of the four fragrances as defined in the Dharma-Samgraha, which is an extensive glossary of Buddhist terms in Sanskrit, written by a monk in 2nd century AD. The scent helps us to connect with the purity of our spirit and our innate knowledge that we are part of the whole universe.  

This incense is prepared using Buddhist incense making techniques. Natural herbs, plants, leaves and tree barks like valerian, liquorice and others are blended to create this beautiful incense.

Please note that when our partners Stupa Incense started their incense business they were taught the ancient art of incense making by Lama Dorjee and his recipe continues to be used to create their incense to this day. They are located in the foothills of the Negarjung Forest in the Kathmandu Valley and as a result have direct access to all the pure natural ingredients required to make beautiful incense.
