Symbolizing purity in the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, lotuses become admirable incense stick holders through Narendra Kumar's artistic eye. Each florid stand is magnificently carved by hand from reddish-pink soapstone with intricate detail. Each item in a set is unique thanks to Kumar's respect of soapstone's natural color, grain and veins, and he doesn't use any colors or dyes. Please expect slight variations in color though the overall theme will remain the same.
