ARHM Kapoor, For Worship, Water Clean

ARHM camphor is used in ayurvedic medicine since ancient time. It is heavier than Chinese camphor and sinks in water easily.It is naturally formed in the stems of Dryobalanops camphora grown in Dutch Sumatra. Camphor is burnt to perform Aarti (circular movement or display of the lamp in reverence before the deity or the idol) before the deity. The smoke from these balls purify the entire atmosphere. Puja kapoor has a unique place in the Hindu ritual of traditional Pooja or any other festive or customary occasion. It is pure white in colour, and when it is burnt it takes on the hue of agni (fire), and it burns itself out completely, without residue. Lighting camphor before God symbolizes that if we burn our illusion or ego with the fire of true knowledge, we shall merge with the God, leaving no residue.
