If you burn incense every day, the little 15-stick box runs out fast. Sree Vani solves that. This Bangalore incense house is best known in botanicas and metaphysical shops for its big 120-stick boxes, hand-rolled masala incense sold by the intention rather than the scent: Open Roads, Protection, Good Luck, Call Clients, Against Jealousy, Lottery, Unlock. Alongside them sit classic single scents like Sandalwood, Copal, Myrrh, and Dragon's Blood, a devotional line named for Ganesh, Lakshmi, Hanuman, and Shiva, and a set of backflow cones for waterfall burners. At Plentiful Earth we keep the whole range in stock because Sree Vani is the incense our working practitioners buy by the box, and the price per stick is hard to beat.
What You'll Find Here
120-stick intention boxes. The workhorse of the line. Each box holds enough sticks for months of daily burning, in blends named for what they are burned for: Open Roads for a stalled situation, Protection and San Miguel for the doorway, Call Clients and Lottery for the cash drawer, Against Jealousy when the room feels heavy. Botanical scents like Cinnamon, Coconut, Lavender, Copal, and Eucalyptus and Mint come in the same big box.
Deity and devotional sticks. Fifteen-stick packs named for Ganesh, Lakshmi, Hanuman, Shiva, Buddha, and Gopala, made in the tradition of daily Indian household offering. Light one at the start of the day, or keep a pack beside a statue or picture of the deity it honors.
Orisha and saint blends. Sree Vani makes 120-stick boxes for Elegua, Oshun, Yemaya, Shango, Ogun, Obatala, the Seven Archangels, and Santa Muerte, the same names you will find on botanica candles. These are devotional tools for practitioners of Lucumi, Santeria, and Mexican folk Catholicism, and their deeper use is best learned from practitioners within those traditions.
Backflow cones. Sets of ten in Amber Musk, Frankincense, Patchouli, and Palo Santo, made with the hollow core that lets smoke pour downward through a waterfall burner.
How Do I Choose a Sree Vani Incense?
Buy the intention first and the scent second. Sree Vani's named blends are built for a purpose, and most people who work with them keep two or three boxes going at once: one for cleansing and protection, one for money and opportunity, and one they simply like the smell of. If you are new to the brand, Open Roads and Sandalwood are the two boxes we recommend most often, one to shift a situation and one to settle a room.
