Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa – Incense Sticks, Dhoop Cones (11)
Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa is one of the world's best-known Indian incenses. Its distinctive warm, floral, slightly sweet, resinous and woody fragrance has accompanied meditation, yoga and home fragrancing for decades. This collection brings together the original Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa by BNG as well as Nag Champa incense by MUM, available in a range of formats and pack sizes.
Satya Nag Champa BNG or MUM: what's the difference?
Today, Satya Nag Champa is produced by two separate companies. Shrinivas Sugandhalaya (BNG) LLP in Bengaluru (Bangalore) makes the original Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa, preserving the classic fragrance that has made this Indian incense famous for decades. Shrinivas Sugandhalaya (MUM) LLP in Mumbai also produces a high-quality Satya Nag Champa, although its fragrance profile differs slightly from the Bengaluru original. The two incenses are therefore not completely identical: BNG retains the original Nag Champa fragrance, while MUM offers a high-quality version with a slightly different scent. As the packaging and product names can look very similar, we clearly indicate whether the products in this collection are made by BNG or MUM.
Satya Nag Champa incense sticks, Dhoop cones and Backflow cones
Nag Champa is available in several forms of incense. Depending on the manufacturer and availability, this collection includes:
Nag Champa incense sticks – the classic bamboo-core format, available in different pack sizes ranging from small boxes to larger value packs.
Nag Champa Dhoop cones – compact incense cones without a bamboo core, offering the characteristic Nag Champa fragrance in cone form.
Nag Champa Backflow cones – special incense cones designed for suitable backflow incense burners. The smoke flows downwards to create the characteristic cascading effect of a backflow burner.
Other Satya Nag Champa scented products may also be available in our range depending on availability.
What does Nag Champa smell like?
The typical Nag Champa fragrance combines a pronounced floral character and gentle sweetness with resinous, balsamic and woody facets. The result is a rich and instantly recognisable scent closely associated with the Indian incense tradition. Those looking for the original Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa and its fragrance known for decades should choose the BNG version from Bengaluru. The MUM version retains a similar overall character while offering its own distinctive olfactory nuances.
How to burn Nag Champa incense
Place an incense stick in a stable incense holder and light the tip. Once an even ember has formed, gently blow out the flame. Dhoop cones should be placed on a heat-resistant surface and lit in the same way. Backflow cones require a suitable backflow incense burner to allow the smoke to flow downwards.
Nag Champa incense is commonly used during meditation and yoga, or simply to fragrance living and relaxation spaces. Its rich and long-lasting fragrance has made it a classic choice for anyone who appreciates traditional Indian incense sticks and Masala incense.
