Hari Darshan

 

Hari Darshan of Delhi are one of India's oldest and most successful incense companies, though little known in the West until relatively recently with their Tribal Soul range. They have been making incense for around 70 years (some sources say 100 years, though on a pack of their incense they have a seal saying "Pure Fragrance since 1970"), passing through four generations, and offer a wide range of incense products: dhoop, masala, perfumed, etc.  They advertise on Indian TV with the tag line Ghar Ko Mandir Bana De ("Make the house a temple") as shown here.

Conclusion: Well established Delhi based manufacturer of a wide range of incense. Was little known in the West, but has been exporting, via Green Tree, their Tribal Soul and Native Soul perfumed masala brands. Mostly average to decent stuff; nothing distinctive or exceptional - one or two nice scents though.
