Mandala Art & Incense – Traditional Tibetan Incense from Kathmandu (21)
Mandala Art & Incense brings Tibetan incense to life in Kathmandu — each stick hand-rolled from Himalayan medicinal herbs, resin incense and aromatic woods, following centuries-old formulas rooted in Buddhist tradition.
Five incense collections for meditation and wellbeing
The Kathmandu workshop has developed several lines, each shaped around a distinct spiritual intention:
Buddha Chitta – The most approachable series in the range. Spiritual Home, Peace, Good Karma, OHM and Himalayan Grass each support a specific inner state: grounding, stillness, positive energy or meditative resonance.
Bodhileaf – The most refined collection. Drawing on the great figures of Buddhism, each blend pairs a bodhisattva's energy with a dedicated aromatic profile: wisdom, compassion, purity, longevity.
Chakra Incense – Seven incense sticks, one for each energy centre. From root to crown, each fragrance accompanies an intention: grounding, creativity, expression, intuition, spirituality.
Pancha Karma – Five elements, five olfactory atmospheres. Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether are rendered in blends ranging from woody-resinous to light and herbaceous.
Ancient Tibetan Incense – The line closest to traditional monastic incense. Wind, Water, Fire, Earth and Blue Sky celebrate Frankincense, Myrrh and Himalayan herbs in their most authentic expression.
How to use incense – a simple everyday ritual
Rest the incense stick on a heat-resistant holder, briefly light the tip, then gently blow out the flame to let the ember release its fragrance. Perfect before a meditation session, during yoga, or as a mindful pause at the end of the day. Light ventilation helps the scent diffuse evenly through the room.
Whether as a thoughtful gift or a daily ritual for yourself, Mandala Art & Incense Tibetan incense brings a quiet breath of the Himalayas into every moment.
