A marriage of two indigenous cultures from across the globe, the Dhuna is not an aromatic but a conduit for spiritual cleaning. Palo Santo, ‘holy wood’ is grown in Peru and Ecuador and is said to have healing properties when used for aromatherapy. It is used as an energy cleanser in traditional Incan ceremonies.

We have designed a heat resistant dish which can be safely used to burn palo santo sticks and shavings made using Longpi clay from Manipur. The dish can also be used for incense cones and bakhoor.
