✦ The story ✦
The blessing of Lakshmi.
When the gods and demons churned the cosmic ocean, the Samudra Manthan, Lakshmi rose from its depths seated on a lotus. Since then, homes have lit lamps and offered fragrance to welcome her. Dhan Dhara is burned in that tradition, to invite abundance, wealth and good fortune, on Friday, her day.

Good to know.
When is the best time to light it?
Tuesday morning, during your prayer or puja. You may also light it on another day during prayer for protection from negative energies and Nazar.
What does bambooless mean?
Most sticks are rolled around a thin bamboo core. Sugandh sticks have none. The stick is made wholly of the blend, so what burns is the fragrance and nothing else.
What makes it different?
The scent comes from real raw materials and not from derivatives or essential oils. It is 100% charcoal free and bambooless.
Is the outcome guaranteed?
No. Sugandh is offered in belief and tradition, in a spirit of devotion, and not as a promise of any outcome.
