Introduction

In Hindu rituals, performing a havan or havan ceremony is an essential part of invoking positive energies and purifying the surroundings. The havan cups, also known as incense cups, play a vital role in this ancient tradition. In this blog, we will dive into the world of havan cups/sambrani cups and explore different types.
