Traditionally used in monasteries and households alike, these burners are designed to hold powdered or stick incense upright, allowing the fragrant smoke to rise as an offering. Tibetan incense itself is made from a blend of medicinal herbs like juniper, sandalwood, and myrrh, often prepared according to centuries-old formulas passed down by Buddhist lamas. One interesting story recounts a 15th-century wandering monk who gifted an elaborately carved incense burner to a remote village in Mustang, promising that its daily use would protect them from plagues. For generations, locals swore that as long as it burned, illness never touched their homes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nidhiratna ","offers":[{"title":"33.5cm X 18.5cm \/ 0.64kg","offer_id":51564770820342,"sku":"1084 RIBS","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/5141\/7846\/files\/buddhist-incense-burner-from-nepal-with-gold-and-silver-plated-copper.jpg?v=1788075769","url":"https:\/\/nidhiratna.com\/products\/buddhist-incense-burner-traditional-newari-altar-craft","provider":"Nidhiratna ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
