Different flowers are associated with different planets, and these flowers are offered during specific rituals to appease the planets. Graha Pushpangal Agarbattis are incense sticks made specifically for planetary worship in Hindu astrology. The term Graha refers to the planets in astrology, and Pushpangal means flowers. These agarbattis (incense sticks) are made with particular flowers, herbs, and fragrances that are believed to have an auspicious effect on each of the planets. Here are some common associations:

SUNDAY- Surya (Sun): Red flowers, Red lotus.

SATURDAY- Shani (Saturn): Blue or dark-colored flowers, such as Karunguvalay-blue lotus

These flower offerings are often part of an astrological remedy or ritual aimed at reducing the negative influence of certain planets and enhancing the positive energy associated with others.

How It’s Made:

Preparation of Cow Dung: Fresh or dried cow dung is collected and sometimes mixed with herbs, flowers, or powders to create a soft, pliable mixture.
Aromatic Additives: Essential oils, resins, and floral powders are then added to the mixture to give the agarbatti its fragrance.
Shaping the Sticks: The mixture is then rolled or molded onto bamboo sticks or other supports.
Drying: The agarbattis are left to dry naturally, preserving the aromatic ingredients and ensuring that the stick burns slowly and evenly.

Cow dung agarbattis are gaining popularity, especially in eco-conscious communities, because they offer a natural alternative to synthetic incense while also promoting sustainable agricultural practices. "Graha Pushpangal" is a term from Indian culture and astrology that refers to flower offerings made to the planets in the context of Hindu rituals and astrological remedies.
