About Incense Burner

The Tibetan Incense Burner, often crafted from bronze or copper with intricate motifs of dragons, lotus petals, or endless knots, has origins rooted in ancient Himalayan rituals where incense was burned to purify spaces and invoke deities. 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 tells of a wandering monk in the 15th century who gifted an elaborately carved incense burner to a remote village in Mustang, promising that its daily use would protect them from plagues and for generations, locals swore that as long as it burned, illness never touched their homes.
