Ranga Rao (Flute, Cycle, Manmohak, Clove, etc)




N. Ranga Rao & Sons of Mysore have been selling incense since 1948, and export to 60 countries. They use Flute, Cycle, Lia, Manmohak and Angel brand names, and also make Woods and Rhythm brand incense. They make dhoop, perfumed, and masala style incense. Cycle is the most respected brand, and the one that I find tends to make the better incense, mostly, though not exclusively, masala. Flute is a popular brand that mostly makes perfumed. 

It is a respected company that is one of the larger incense companies, and is popular domestically, as well as having a decent international market, though nothing as compared to Satya, HEM, etc.  

I find them a solid, dependable, decent quality company, with the best incense nudging or getting into Heavenly, and the lowest never falling lower than Average Everyday.  I am happy to continue exploring.

I love this - a beautiful video, which is also a sales catalogue. The images in the video have been created from Cycle products - see something interesting, click on the video, and you can order the product which was used to create the image. Here's a promotional video of the making of the ad
