What makes Adikalpa Kalpabatti“bamboo‑less”?
Instead of a bamboo core, we use the mid‑rib of coconut leaves—agricultural by‑products that burn clean and emit no toxins.
Why is burning bamboo a problem?
Scientific studies show that a 9‑inch bamboo stick can release heavy metals and particulate matter equivalent to inhaling two cigarettes. Our coconut mid-rib stick core avoids those pollutants entirely.
Is the entire stick natural?
Yes. The core is plant‑based, and the masala coating is blended from natural resins, wood powders, essential oils and plant gums—no charcoal, no hazardous diluent, or synthetic binders.
What fragrances are available?
Our launch collection features Woody Sandal, Oudh Magic, Lavender Springs, Jasmine Blooms, Divine Pooja and Rosy Mist. All scents come from botanical extracts.
How long does one stick burn?
Approximately 30 minutes, releasing a steady, gentle stream of aromatic smoke.
Is the smoke safe in closed rooms?
Independent lab tests show up to 90 % less particulate matter than conventional agarbattis, making it safer for indoor use. We still recommend normal ventilation, as with any combustion product.
How do I light and use the stick?
Light the tip until it glows, gently fan out the flame, then place the stick upright in a heat‑safe holder. Sit back and let the fragrance fill your space.
Is Adikalpa Kalpabatti vegan and cruelty‑free?
Absolutely. We never use animal‑derived ingredients or test on animals.
Where is the product made?
Proudly manufactured in Karnataka, India, under our patent‑protected process that supports Atmanirbhar Bharat and rural coconut‑farming communities.
How does my purchase help local communities?
Every pack funds women‑led cooperatives that collect, clean and process coconut mid‑ribs, creating sustainable livelihoods in coconut‑rich regions.
Is the product really patent‑protected?
Yes. Our unique bamboo‑free core is covered by Indian and international patent filings, ensuring authenticity and quality you can trust.
