Jumbo agarbatti are the extra-long (often 16-inch) incense sticks you see at temples and big pujas; regular sticks are the everyday size. The difference is burn time and scale of occasion. Here is when to use which.
Jumbo agarbatti: long and grand
A 16-inch jumbo agarbatti burns much longer and throws more fragrance — ideal for temples, mandaps, festivals like Ganesh and Navratri, and large gatherings. Surbhika’s are charcoal-free and panchgavya-based.
Regular agarbatti: everyday pooja
Regular Classic Agarbatti (about 30-min burn) is perfect for daily home aarti and freshening a room.
