What Should I Consider Before Scenting a Pooja Room?
SOSA · pooja rooms
Fragrance in a pooja room, with care
A pooja room already has its own scents: agarbatti, dhoop, flowers and ghee. Any added fragrance should respect them, and the household’s wishes.

The short answer
Start by asking whether the family wants another fragrance there at all. If you use incense, ventilate well. If you add a machine, use a socket well away from diyas, lamps and incense, and run it at times when nothing is lit. A soft sandalwood or vetiver scent suits the space best.
Before you add scent
Six things to consider
- What is already there. Incense, dhoop and fresh flowers already scent the room.
- Ventilation and smoke. Let smoke clear and air the room after aarti.
- Is it wanted? Ask the people who use the room. Some prefer only traditional scents.
- Away from flames. Use a socket well away from diyas, lamps and incense holders, and never near heat.
- A fitting scent. Vetiver and sandalwood sit naturally alongside traditional fragrances.
- A modest schedule. A short timer block in the morning or evening, when no flame is lit.

Questions
Before you choose
Can I use it while a diya is lit?
Keep it well away from any flame or heat, and ideally run it when nothing is lit.
What if someone in the home is sensitive to fragrance?
If someone is pregnant, has asthma, migraines or a known fragrance sensitivity, check with your doctor first, start on the lowest setting and keep the space ventilated.
Which oils can I use?
Only SOSA waterless oils. Ultrasonic diffuser oils, reed diffuser oils and thick essential oils can clog the nozzle.
Can I schedule them?
Yes. Pawan is set from the SOSA app with a timer, for example mornings and evenings. Vaayu is set from the SOSA app over Bluetooth or its buttons: the days, a run window of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, and the intensity.
