An incense burner is a device used to hold and burn incense, which is often made from aromatic plant materials. These burners come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from simple bowls to intricate sculptures. When incense is lit, it releases fragrant smoke that can create a calming atmosphere, often used in spiritual or meditative practices. Incense burners can be made from different materials, including metal, ceramic, and wood. Some popular styles include Japanese and Chinese designs, each with unique cultural significance. They are commonly used in homes, temples, and during ceremonies to enhance relaxation and promote a sense of well-being.
