Namaste!

Welcome to our world of incense.
We are Stupa Incense, a socially and environmentally conscious cottage industry. We have been making handmade incense for the last two decades.

As, the Himalayas, from where we come from, burning incense is an important part of our culture. We use it from day to day rituals (in the early morning during sunrise and in the evening after sunset to relaxation whether it is in temples, monasteries or at home. It is also used during meditation and relaxation in modern times. These are also important kit in many major and minors feast and festivals for both Hindus and Buddhist.

Making rope incense and burning different types of incense are deeply rooted in Nepali community.

Twisting rope incense was an activities used to be a part of daily house hold activity by women either when they are busy doing house hold things or on their spare time, during sun bathing since centuries.

So we call it - burning incense is more than just for aroma, it is a lifestyle, and it is for one's mental and spiritual well being.

Being based in the foothill of the Nagarjung forest in the Kathmandu valley, we are always inspired by our surroundings, traditions and nature.

Most of our ingredients are locally sourced, from herbs to handmade papers for packaging.

With love,

Greetings,

Tara and Narayan Newa
