The making of incense sticks, also called 'agarbathi' in Hindi, became an organised industry in Bangalore during the 1900s and was locally known as oodabathies (blowing fumes). The incense sticks were very simple to manufacture, as it was only a paste of natural ingredients mixed with charcoal and Gijit, and rolled on to bamboo sticks. The proportion of mixing was of main importance. The Maharaja of Mysore patronised the production and promotion of the incense sticks.[3] When they were given a certificate of merit from the Wembley exhibition in London, the Kingdom of Mysore gave the incense sticks as gifts to foreign visitors and guests, to encourage exports to other countries.[1]
