Dhupa

This article is about the dharmic use of incense. For plants mentioned in classical Hindu sources, see Flora of the Indian epics period.

Dhupa (धुप) is, in dharmic religions (such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc), the ritual offering of incense during puja to an image of a deity, or other object of veneration. It is also the Sanskrit word for incense or perfume itself.

The very idea of offering dhupa is personified in the dakini Dhupa, who is said in the Bardo Thödol to appear on the third day. ^[1]
