Devotees in Mayapur produce lovely smelling, natural incense made locally, right next to where we staying. We went for a short tour right before we left. Here are some pictures (by the way, we got a whole bunch of incense for Nitai-Sacinandana).
 |
| supplies: some sort of herbal powder (forget what kind) mixed with whatever natural oil or powdered resin the incense will be scented with, bamboo sticks and powdered charcoal *mix powders and charcoal together with a little water to make a sticky goop |
 |
| raw chunks of frankincense before it's powdered by mortar and pestle |
 |
| little sticks of bamboo |
 |
| the "factory" @ work--placing the goop on the sticks and rolling them out (these ladies are super fast and it's not as easy as they make it look!) |
 |
| ta da! |
