About Us

Born from Tradition. Made for the World.

Mystic Mantra is a premium natural incense brand from Bangalore, India. We handcraft every stick using pure botanicals, herbs, resins, and essential oils — never synthetic fragrances, never charcoal fillers. Just clean, honest scent rooted in over six decades of Indian craftsmanship.

 

We exist for people who value intentional living — those who light incense not out of habit, but to create a moment of stillness, clarity, or connection.

 

Our Heritage

Our story begins in 1956, when P. Venkata Subbaiah Setty founded Sri Srinivasa Agarbathi Company in Chintamani, a small town near Bangalore. In 1957, his elder son P.V. Jayaramaiah Gupta moved the business to Bangalore and grew it into one of India's respected incense houses. By 1985, the family established Orkay Fragrance and introduced the iconic "Snake Brand" — a name now synonymous with authentic Indian incense.

 

Today, the third generation — P.J. Ravi Kumar and P.R. Shruthi — leads the company, while the fourth generation, Shivani and Nirmita, drives its evolution forward. Mystic Mantra is the newest chapter: a premium brand created specifically for discerning customers around the world who seek quality, purity, and meaning in every scent.

 

What Makes Us Different

Pure, Natural Ingredients: Every Mystic Mantra incense stick is made from plant-based ingredients — natural resins, dried herbs, wood powders, and essential oils. We never use synthetic perfumes, dipping chemicals, or artificial binders.

 

Handcrafted by Artisans: Our incense is hand-rolled by skilled artisans in Bangalore, India. Each stick is shaped, coated, and dried using traditional techniques passed down through three generations.

 

Rooted in Ayurveda: Our formulations draw from Ayurvedic principles and ancient Indian aromatherapy traditions. Scents like Nag Champa, Sandalwood, and White Sage have been used for centuries in meditation, healing, and ritual.

 

60+ Years of Expertise: With more than six decades in incense chemistry and formulation, we understand fragrance at its deepest level — from raw material sourcing to the final burn profile.

 

How Our Incense Is Made

We follow a traditional masala method — a centuries-old Indian technique where raw ingredients are blended into a fragrant paste and hand-rolled onto bamboo sticks. The sticks are then sun-dried naturally, locking in the aroma without heat or chemicals.

 

This process takes longer than machine production, but the result is a cleaner burn, a richer scent, and a product free from toxins.

 

Shipped Worldwide

We're proud to share Indian craftsmanship with the world. Mystic Mantra ships internationally to the USA, UK, Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, and beyond.

 

Whether you're in London, New York, Dubai, or Melbourne — we deliver pure, natural incense to your doorstep.
