R. Expo / Song Of India is an Indian company based in Noida, a new city just outside of Delhi, with a branch in America. They started out in 1932 as an independent business called Mathur Perfumery Works hand-making traditional incense, then branched out in 1972 to create a sales outlet in America, which has its own website: R.Expo. They assisted Nagraj of the Mumbai Satya company to import poor quality Satya incense into America, and to intimidate other distributors into ceasing to sell the original quality Bangalore Satya. An out-of-court settlement has now been agreed, and Mumbai Satya is now of the same quality as the Bangalore Satya.
Aroma Temple is Song of India's main brand, and is a machine extruded and perfume-dipped incense. In 2017 they created the hippy-chic brand The Great Indian Caravan making low cost perfume-dipped incense. They also make decent everyday masala incense.

Conclusion: Not a quality incense house. Appears to aim for the Western market with Westernised Indian imagery. More common in America than the UK. Some of the masala is decent good value everyday stuff with some nice scents, but I've not come across anything especially interesting yet.
