Sambrani & Loban — Frequently Asked Questions

What is sambrani?

Sambrani is a fragrant resin incense, also called loban or benzoin, traditionally burned in Indian homes and temples. Its dense, sweet smoke is used in pooja, meditation and to fragrance and purify a space.

What is sambrani called in English?

Sambrani is known in English as benzoin resin, and is often sold as loban. It is one of the classic sacred incense resins used across India.

What is the difference between sambrani cups and sambrani powder?

Sambrani cups are self-lighting — you simply light the cup and it burns on its own, with no charcoal or holder needed. Sambrani powder is the traditional loose form, burned by sprinkling it over hot charcoal or a sambrani burner.

How do you burn sambrani?

For cups, light the top, let it catch, then place it on a heat-proof holder and let the fragrant smoke fill the room. For powder, heat a charcoal tablet or sambrani stand and sprinkle a little powder on top. Never leave it burning unattended.

Is your sambrani natural and chemical-free?

Yes. Our sambrani cups and powder are hand-made in an Indian ashram from natural herbs and resins, with no synthetic fragrance — so the smoke stays pure and clean.
