Pacha Karpooram / పచ్చ కర్పూరం (Raw Camphor) is a sacred element in Hindu rituals, known for its strong fragrance, purifying properties, and spiritual significance. It is widely used in religious ceremonies to cleanse the atmosphere and invoke divine blessings.
In poojas, Pacha Karpooram is burned during aarti, producing a bright flame that symbolizes the removal of ego, negativity, and ignorance, allowing devotees to connect with the divine. Its fumes purify the surroundings, creating a spiritually uplifting environment. It is also used in homas (fire rituals) and as an offering to deities, signifying devotion and surrender.
With its powerful cleansing properties and deep religious importance, Pacha Karpooram plays an essential role in traditional worship, representing purity, transformation, and divine grace.
