The Himalayan Cedar has been extracted from the wood of the Cedar tree, which is found in the Himalayan regions of Nepal. The common Nepali name for this Himalayan Cedar is Dhup, which is traditionally used for incense in homes, stupas, and temples. This type of Dhup is typical in the Newar community, and almost every Newar home uses it. This Himalayan Cedar is handmade and is also called Newa Dhup in Newari culture. Our Incense Ropes are made of herbs found in the high Himalayas. They are used in stupas, temples, and drawing rooms to create an aromatic ambience. Incense ropes are made by hand in a process that involves bundling the ingredients in special hand-prepared rice paper, then rolling and twisting it into a small rope-like braided form. The rope should be burnt in a marble or metal dish, or on an ash bed, a special incense burner. This type of incense produces a substantial amount of smoke, which can quickly overpower a small room, so use sparingly. The burning time for one rope is approximately 15 minutes.
I love this little incense stick because it adds a calming, natural element without overwhelming a space. It works well in minimal and Scandinavian-inspired interiors where subtle texture and natural tones are key. The bright yellow packaging can bring a cheerful touch to neutral or muted colour schemes, making it perfect for adding a pop of colour in a corner or alongside other natural materials. For styling, try placing it on a simple tray with some small plants or alongside candles to create a cosy, relaxing vignette. It’s a practical addition for creating a soothing atmosphere in living rooms, bathrooms, or even home office spaces.
