In our Indian society, Dhoop, Dhoop Batti, Agarbatti, all these are taken as
synonymous of incense sticks because these are burnt for fragrance. But dhoop or
dhoop batti is not same with agarbatti. And the term incense sticks actually refers to
agarbatti and not for dhoop batti.
Dhoop Batti is prepared from the extracts of the dhoop trees, which are botanically
termed as Vateria Indica and Canarium strictum. The dhoop making extracts is
collected form the tree by tapping the trees just like in case of rubber. Vateria Indica
is the source for saka dhoopa and canarium strictum is the soruce for rala dhoopa.
IN market dhoop batti is available not exactly in stick form but as a bit damp paste
of combustible material, somewhat similar to putting but black in colour. Dhoop batti
paste is a mixture of ghee, herbs and dhoop tree extracts. These pastes are
available in cones or thick sticks. Moreover, now days Dhoop batti are found in
various fragrances like panch dham, kesar, nag campa etc. Where as agarbatti is a
mixture of powdered wood, charcoal, barks, seeds, leaves, roots, rhizomes, flowers
etc. mixed with some essential oil, mineral oil, resins, gums and aromatic chemicals
etc. The paste is applied on to a bamboo core stick and dried up. Dhoop batti
usually forms more smoke than agarbatti. It is mainly used during ritual ceremonies
like havan and all holy occasions. The scent of Dhoop batti is also strong and
creates a spiritual mood. The Dhoop trees are mostly found in eastern India. But
unfortunately these trees are at the verge of being extinct, because of its heavy
deforestation owing to their good market value.
