A pooja (or puja) is a sacred ceremony performed for someone respected, such as a god. Laxmi (or Lakshmi) is the Hindu goddess of fortune and beauty. She has her own pooja - the Lakshmi Puja.
This is another decent incense from Aargee. The dyed pink sticks have been roiled in a charcoal base, and then, while the paste is still wet, have been rolled in a masala of fragrance material, including the distinctive halmaddi. The box states there is also lavender and bergamot. The resulting aroma is very pleasing. It is fairly delicate, and the halmaddi informs rather than dominates - I can breathe the smoke with no irritation.
I like this. I like this a lot.
Possibly made by Goloka who often make incense for Aargee.

[2025 comment: The Goloka-made Laxmi Pooja appears to no longer be available, though Stamford continue to sell Laxmi Pooja, presumably using the same recipe. It is widely whispered that Goloka use other factories in Bangalore to make their incense - Sree Vani being the company most often mentioned. It is possible (though only a speculation) that this Laxmi Pooja is made by Sree Vani.]
