This metal incense
burner is a classic practical item used for Dhuma Pana. This incense burner is
made of durable metals such as brass and will last for centuries. It has an
image of a peacock as the incense burner and a handle to hold it. The peacock
has long been associated with wealth and majesty. The benefits of Dhuma Pana,
or breathing smoke for health benefits, have been discussed in Charakh Samhita,
the ancient Ayurvedic literature. Dhuma
Pana is said to be effective in treating coughs, colds, and rhinitis, as well
as making it easier to breathe. The peacock's body is pierced with holes,
allowing the smoke to spread. The body is separated into two sections: the
upper piece serves as a cover, while the lower portion serves as a container
for burning incense. This incense
burner is a functional object and a work of beauty that exudes tranquility.
