Haridas Madhavdas Sugandhi (HMS) Temple Grade Incense

Haridas Madhavdas Sugandhi (HMS) incense is a historic Indian incense tradition originating from Pune, Maharashtra, with roots dating back to 1860.

Founded by brothers Haridas and Madhavdas Sugandhi, this family-owned incense house is now carried forward by their descendants, continuing a legacy of authentic temple-grade masala incense crafted with traditional methods and natural ingredients.

HMS incense is made using the classic masala incense method, not machine-made charcoal sticks dipped in perfume. Each incense stick is handcrafted using freshly harvested herbs, natural gums, resins, sun-dried flowers, woods, botanical extracts, and aromatic oils.

These ingredients are finely ground and blended into a traditional incense paste before being hand-rolled onto bamboo sticks for a rich, layered, and slow-burning fragrance.

This collection features authentic Haridas Madhavdas Sugandhi incense, including temple incense, sandalwood incense, floral masala blends, resin-rich agarbatti, and traditional Indian incense sticks known for their deep, natural aroma profiles.

HMS is widely appreciated by incense collectors seeking genuine temple-grade incense made without synthetic fragrance coatings.
