Sambrani cups, also called havan or hawan cups, are incense products used during pooja and traditional rituals. The blend and lighting method can differ between products, so begin with the directions printed on your particular pack.
Before lighting a cup
Place a suitable heat-resistant holder on a stable, non-flammable surface, away from curtains and other materials that can catch fire. Keep the area ventilated and position the holder away from children and pets. Check whether the pack requires any particular holder or lighting accessory; do not assume every sambrani cup lights in the same way.
Lighting and using sambrani cups
Follow the manufacturer’s lighting instructions, including which part of the cup to light and how to establish the ember. Do not add oils, spirit or other accelerants. Once lit, keep the holder stationary: the cup, ash and holder may become very hot. Supervise it throughout use and follow the pack’s extinguishing instructions if you need to stop early.
After your pooja
Allow the cup and ash to cool completely before handling or disposal. Clean and dry the holder before its next use. Store unused cups in their original packaging, away from dampness and ignition sources. Incense produces smoke: if it causes discomfort, stop using it and ventilate the room.
Which havan cup should you buy?
Compare the listed ingredients, fragrance, cup count and price per pack. For a useful comparison, divide the pack price by the number of cups. Burn time and fragrance intensity should come from the individual product’s instructions or description. Choose a smaller pack first if you are trying an unfamiliar fragrance.
Buying for a temple or shop
For regular requirements, note your preferred fragrance, approximate monthly quantity and delivery pincode. Ask for confirmed availability, wholesale pack sizes and lead time before placing a bulk order.
