As branded agarbati is costly, the local people buy the local made agarbati which is made manually. Dhup making is one of the main sources of income of the rural population of the Manipur State. It is an essential item in ritual ceremony and is used in many households in everyday life. The local made agarbati is made of ‘Mengkruk’(a scented crystal), charcoal, water and an imported scented brownish powder.

Dhoop Batti is prepared from the extracts of dhoop trees, which are botanically named as Vateria Indica and Canarium strictum. The dhoop that makes the extracts is collected from the tree by strucking the trees just as in the case of rubber. Vateria Indica is the source for saka dhoopa and canarium strictum is the soruce for rala dhoopa. In the market batho dhoop is available not exactly in the form of stick, but as a bit of wet paste of combustible material, something similar to put, but black. Dhoop batti paste is a blend of ghee, herbs and dhoop tree extracts. These pastes are available in cones or thick bars. In addition, now the Dhoop batti days are in diverse fragrances like panch dham, kesar, nag camp, etc. When agarbatti is a mixture of wood powder, charcoal, bark, seeds, leaves, roots, rhizomes, flowers, etc. Oil, mineral oil, resins, gums and aromatic chemicals, etc. The paste is applied on a bamboo core stick and dried. Dhoop batti generally forms more smoke than agarbatti. It is mainly used during ritual ceremonies such as havan and all holy occasions. The aroma of Dhoop batti is also strong and creates a spiritual mood. Dhoop trees are found mainly in East India. But unfortunately these trees are about to die out due to their strong deforestation due to their good market value.
