Ayodhya · India · Since 1994
The incense your customers come back for.
Made in Ayodhya since 1994. We make it on our own machines and dry it in our own chambers, so every batch smells like the one before. That is what brings a shopper back to the shelf — and what brings your order back to us.

Why Archita
Good for the room. Good for the people who made it. Good for a school in Ayodhya.
Our aim is simple: make a good product, make it the same way every time, and let the making do some good where it happens. The purpose is not printed on the carton — it is in how the carton gets filled.
1
A floor that stays together
The same people, year after year. They know the work, so your repeat order matches the sample.
2
Work close to home
Eight of every ten are women from the villages nearby.
3
A school in the same town
Arpan Foundation, supported by Archita Essentials, runs Diksha Vidyalaya in Goshainganj(Ayodhya). Approximately 300 children study there every year.
Approved, not asserted
Every badge below is a government registration, not a slogan we wrote ourselves.
None of this adds to your price. It is how the business is run, so it will still be true on your third order. Buyers who would rather see it than read it are welcome at the school.
Our incense brand, and the company behind it.
How it is made
Work brought onto one floor.
In rural Uttar Pradesh, unemployment is very common, especially for women. We have been trying to address it. In our factory, women generate revenue with respect.
Eight in ten of them are women from the villages nearby. Steady work for them, and a steady product for you.
Revenue with respect — Ayodhya

BHOG PRASAD
Fragrance is a medium to light lives, not just lamps.
Every carton we ship was made by people who live a few kilometres away, in a town where the business also pays for a school. That is what we mean by product with purpose.
And it has to be good
Less smoke.
More fragrance.
A story is only worth telling if the product backs it up. Ours is dried in our own chambers, not in the sun, so the tenth container smells like the first.
Accu-Dry drying line
Mindful making
Five promises on every carton.
Made in Ayodhya
A town that has made incense by hand for generations.
Crafted in Bengaluru
Fragrance developed where modern perfumery meets ancient aromatherapy.
Made by rural women
Eight in ten of the floor, from the villages around us.
Powered by solar
A 100 kVA Tata plant carries the factory load.
