Incense holders are tools designed to securely hold incense sticks or cones while they burn. They come in various materials, including wood, metal, and ceramic, and can feature intricate designs or simple shapes. The primary purpose of an incense holder is to catch ash and prevent it from falling onto surfaces, making cleanup easier. These holders are often used in practices related to meditation, aromatherapy, and spiritual rituals. They can enhance the ambiance of a space by allowing the fragrant smoke to disperse evenly. Many people choose specific holders that reflect their personal style or complement their home decor.
