  • Indian incense is known as agarbattī in Hindi (अगरबत्ती) and other Indian languages. India has a rich tradition of incense making that goes back millenia. Many Indian incenses have a unique scent that is not found in any other part of the globe. A uniform and codified system of incense-making first began in India. Although Vedic texts mention the use of incense for masking odors and creating a pleasurable smell, the modern system of organized incense-making was likely created by the medicinal priests of the time. Thus, modern, organized incense-making is intrinsically linked to the Ayurvedic medical system in which it is rooted.
