Description
Camphor or kapoor possesses a unique place in the Hindu ritual of traditional Pooja or any other festive or customary occasion. Camphor when lit burns itself out completely without leaving a trace of it. Camphor represents our inherent tendencies (vaasanas). When lit by the fire of knowledge which illuminates the Lord (truth), our vaasanas thereafter burn themselves out completely, not leaving a trace of the ego which creates in us a sense of individuality that keeps us separate from the Lord.
Kapur is used to offer dhoop to deities while performing aarti. The smoke from these balls purify the entire atmosphere.
Also use as aurvedic purpose.
