Bhimseni Camphor

What most stores sell as "camphor" is synthetic camphor distilled from turpentine — fast-burning, leaves residue, smells faintly of pine. Real Bhimseni camphor is natural, distilled from the wood of the camphor laurel tree (Cinnamomum camphora), and is what every authentic Indian aarti and homa actually requires.

Our Bhimseni camphor is sourced from Sumatra (the original camphor forest) and refined into pure crystalline tablets. Burns completely without residue, leaves no oily soot, and produces the unmistakable bitter-clean fragrance that Vedic texts call "the smell of the gods".

How to use: One tablet on a small brass katori or directly on the aarti diya. Light with a long matchstick. The flame burns blue-tinged, completely consuming the tablet in 2-3 minutes. Used in: closing aarti, evening sandhya, Lakshmi puja, Mahashivratri, and to purify the home (rotated through every room).

The Kripa promise: 100% natural Bhimseni — verified by laboratory chromatography. No turpentine-derived synthetic camphor.
