Incense
Incense is a preparation of aromatic plant matter, often with the addition of essential oils extracted from plant or animal sources, intended to release fragrant smoke for religious, therapeutic, or aesthetic purposes as it smolders. It has been popularly used for thousands of years within India as an integral part of Hindu deity worship.
