ARKA - Aurora's original blend - Camphor, Frankincense & Herbs

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.

Light all sides — hold a steady flame around the whole rim for about 20 seconds and let the herbs awaken. Keep the flame — let it burn 20 seconds more so the base fully catches. Don't rush it. Look for the amber glow — blow out gently. When the tip glows warm orange-amber all over, you did it right — pure burn, pure aroma, nothing left but ash. Tip: if a cup stops burning, it isn't a defect — the lighting simply wasn't complete. Relight all sides for the full 20 seconds.
