About Satya

Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa Agarbathi Works was founded in Bangalore, India in 1964 to produce the original Nag Champa incense. The company's products are made by traditional Indian "masala" incense rolling: a paste of resins, woods, herbs, and aromatic ingredients is hand-rolled around a thin bamboo stick. The result is a dense fragrant stick that burns slowly and produces substantial aromatic smoke.

About Nag Champa

Nag Champa is one of the most universally recognized incense scents in the world. The traditional Indian fragrance is based on champaka (Magnolia champaca) flowers combined with halmaddi resin (an aromatic tree resin from India) and other aromatic ingredients. The scent is sweet, floral, slightly resinous, and unmistakable. The blue box of Satya Nag Champa is one of the most iconic incense products globally.

How to Burn Satya Incense

Light the tip of a stick until it begins to smolder; gently blow out the flame; place in an incense holder with the burning tip away from flammable surfaces. The stick will smolder and release fragrant smoke for 30-45 minutes. Always burn on a non-flammable surface in a well-ventilated space.
