Nepali Rope Incense

The traditional incense used for puja (prayer) in Nepal. This incense is made using a mix of sacred ingredients that are rolled into a fine rice paper and twisted into a small bundle. When you walk in the early morning hours in Kathmandu you can see the small mandalas drawn in front of each house where daily offerings are made. Within each mandala is burning this traditional incense. Each bundle contains approximately 50 “sticks” 4 inches long and comes in a small cellophane wrapper.

To burn this incense light the end and place it in a small dish of sand. It will burn to ash. As with all incense make sure that rooms are ventilated and that you do not place it near anything flammable.
