Camphor / కర్పూరం

In pooja, camphor is burned during aarti, producing a bright, smokeless flame that signifies the removal of ego and ignorance, allowing the soul to merge with the divine. Its soothing aroma purifies the surroundings, creating a peaceful and spiritually uplifting atmosphere. Camphor is also used in homams (fire rituals) and medicinal preparations, believed to bring prosperity, protection, and well-being to devotees.

With its deep spiritual significance and cleansing properties, camphor remains an essential part of traditional worship, representing purity, transformation, and divine blessings.
