SWIRLING BODHI INCENSE BOX,
Bodhi is a Sanskrit word that literally means "awakened". The bodhi tree was so named because the Buddha attained the awakened state or enlightenment under its spreading canopy.

Inside this handmade paper box is our specially blended incense and a ceramic bodhi incense burner. Use them to make the lighting of incense a special daily ceremony. All handmade under fairtrade conditions by skilled artisans in Nepal. (4 1/4")
