The journey of Hari Darshan began with a small manufacturing facility in New Delhi in the 1960s and the company started selling dhoop and agarbathies. The brand Hari Darshan consolidated and spread its wings under leadership of Mr. Jetha Nand Nagdev. The brand expanded its presence from one state to the next, eventually covering the entire country, with the commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Not limited across the country, the fragrance of Hari Darshan gradually spread to several countries. Hari Darshan now has one of the industry’s largest incense and related product manufacturing and processing facilities, as well as logistics across India.

Hari Darshan exports dhoop and incense sticks to the Middle East, Sri Lanka, and Latin America, among other places. The majority of the raw materials are available in India, but the brand imports a few. While non-availability in India may be a factor, there are several others. The entire world is now viewed as a single marketplace. There is no harm in importing if there is value generation in terms of quality, innovation, features, or cost-efficiency. Inefficiency thrives in an overly protective economy.
At this time, such products are in high demand not only for prayers but also for aromatherapy and meditation. At the same time that it embraces advances, the brand is also embracing healthy origins. While the product’s traditional use has been religious and spiritual, new-age and wellness purposes are driving up demand.
