This is a traditional Newari incense called Dhupaya. It is made traditionally using many precious Aromatic Himalayan Herbs. The finely powdered form of the herbs are wrapped in the thin strip of Lokta Paper and twined forming a knotting stick.
The smoke coming out of the White Sage rope incense is believed to attract gods and hence it has been used extensively in the religious field both by Hindus and Buddhist.
