The Traditional Dhuni Loban Lamp

An ancient instrument for cleansing the air in houses, temples, and other hallowed places is the Dhuni Loban lamp. It is usually fashioned of metal or brass and is intended to hold burning loban, or benzoin resin, or other natural incense. The fragrant smoke that the lamp emits is said to dispel bad energy and provide a calm atmosphere suitable for prayer or meditation. Its beautiful design, which frequently has elaborate carvings, heightens its spiritual value. Indian ceremonies place great importance on the Dhuni Loban lamp because it provides a link between the material and spiritual realms and uplifts the atmosphere with its soothing fragrance.
