Damar is a natural resin obtained from the trees of the genus Shorea, primarily found in tropical regions of Southeast Asia. It is often used in various applications, including varnishes, incense, and traditional medicine. Damar is valued for its ability to harden and create a protective layer, making it popular among artists and craftsmen. In addition to its practical uses, damar resin has cultural significance in some communities. It is sometimes used in rituals and ceremonies, reflecting its importance in local traditions. The resin is harvested by tapping the trees, allowing the sap to flow and harden into solid pieces.
