Traditional Incense Ropes from Nepal
Incense ropes are very popular in Nepal, where they are produced in the Kathmandu valley, mainly by the Newar community.
The principle is very simple: mixtures of wood, resins or aromatic plants are wrapped in a sheet of Lokta paper, which is then twisted.
The ropes are burnt in exactly the same way as an incense stick, simply by lighting one end.
