Before the floral blends, there was Arka.

Our original incense — nothing layered, nothing dressed up. Just sun-dried desi cow dung, hand-pressed with a deep concentrate of frankincense, Bhimseni camphor and carefully chosen herbs. It's the grounding aroma of a South Indian home at dusk, in a single cup.

Lights easily. Burns clean.

Clove, worked into the base as a natural lighting ingredient, helps each cup light in seconds and keep burning on its own. No charcoal, no lighter fluid, no artificial burning agents — just a clean, steady burn from a single flame.

Cow dung based. Lab tested. Honestly made.

Every aroma in Arka comes from real plants — drawn out through extraction and hydro-distillation, never synthetic fragrance oils. Every ingredient is on the label and every batch is lab tested. No hidden fillers, no perfume chemicals, no shortcuts. If you can't pronounce it, it's not in Arka.

One cup, three lives.

The burn doesn't end at ash. Once a cup has finished, the leftover ash lives on — as viboothi for your prayers, as fertiliser for your plants, and as a natural scrub for your utensils. Nothing goes to waste.

• Purifies the air – inspired by yagna and homam rituals
• ~45-minute slow burn – thick 6 mm, bamboo-less sticks
• Safe for kids and pets – natural binders, no synthetic fragrance
• No charcoal, no chemicals – lab tested for a clean, irritation-free burn
• Solar dried – dried in sunlight to preserve purity
• Ash feeds plants – use the leftover ash as fertiliser or vibhuti

Light all sides of the rim for 20 seconds, keep the flame for 20 more seconds, then let it glow amber. Sprinkle the herbal powder on the ember for a richer aroma.

30 incense cups — one for every day of the month

30 g herbal incense powder — for a slow, lingering burn whenever you want it

1 incense holder — everything you need to begin

For centuries, Indian homes have burned dried desi cow dung (gomaya) in yagnas and homams to purify the air. Aurora uses the same purified, solar-dried cow dung – mixed with herbs, resins and natural extracts – instead of charcoal and bamboo.

It is odourless once dried, burns slowly and evenly, and leaves an ash you can use as vibhuti or plant fertiliser. Every purchase also supports cow welfare and rescue.
