Agarbatti Making Machine

Agarbatti making is a traditional industry in India with a size of around Rs. 7500. crore annual production with involvement of about 5 lakh people and export of about Rs. 750 crores. Agarbatti is traditionally made by hand – by rolling bamboo sticks in an incense paste or a dough made of various ingredients, and is a labour intensive industry. Of late, some companies have started to employ machines to beat the tough competition from Chinese exporters, who mostly market machine-made agarbattis. In India, incense sticks, called Agarbatti (Agar: from Dravidian probably Tamil அகில் (agil), அகிர்(agir)., Sanskrit vatti, "wound" or "grief"), are a large part of the economy and many religions in the region. Agarbatti or Incense is an aromatic material that releases fragrant smoke when burned. The fragrance is meant to calm your nerves and bring peace within your home and people. For example: If there are a lot of tiffs/arguments going on in a house, the best advice to do is burn an incense stick and then see the magic!
