About Us
Bharat Industrial Corporation (BIC) has been a trusted name in the world of incense since 1965. Based in Bangalore, India, we are proud pioneers in the art of crafting incense and dhoop sticks. For over five decades, our passion for quality and innovation has guided our journey — from a humble incense manufacturer to one of India’s leading exporters. Today, our aromatic offerings reach homes and hearts across the globe.
At the heart of our legacy stands our flagship brand — Panchavati — cherished for its distinct fragrances that elevate prayer, bring peace to spaces, and stir the senses. Each stick we create is a blend of tradition, care, and creativity, reflecting our unwavering commitment to purity and excellence.
To continue this legacy with greater reach and precision, we have partnered with Bindu Incense Craft LLP, who now manufacture and market our products. This collaboration ensures that every stick of Panchavati incense continues to embody the heritage, quality, and devotion that our customers have loved and trusted for generations.
At BIC, incense is more than just a product — it is a way to connect with something deeper. Whether used for prayer, pleasure, or peace, we strive to craft scents that linger long after the moment has passed, creating memories and sacred experiences.
Why Panchavati? A Name Rooted in Divinity...
The name Panchavati finds its origin in ancient Indian tradition. As chronicled in the epic Ramayana, Panchavati was a sacred grove of five banyan trees — a divine forest where Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Lord Lakshmana resided during their 14-year exile. Situated in present-day Nashik, Panchavati symbolizes spiritual refuge, tranquility, and an intimate bond with nature.
This hallowed ground holds immense significance — it was here that Lord Rama experienced a pivotal phase of his journey, seeking peace amidst adversity. The forest, with the flowing Godavari nearby, transformed even the wild and untamed into a sanctuary of serenity and devotion. It became a metaphorical space where nature and divinity intertwined.
At BIC, we chose the name Panchavati to reflect the very soul of our brand — a sanctuary of calm, harmony, and devotion that is brought to life through fragrance. Just as Lord Rama found solace in this sacred grove, our incense seeks to offer that same spiritual connection through every aroma we create.
A Fragrant Legacy, A Spiritual Journey...
BIC is not merely a brand — it is an emblem of spiritual awakening, of moments steeped in tradition and sanctity. Through every incense stick, we invite you to rediscover the divine — a world where the senses are awakened, the mind is stilled, and the heart finds peace.
We’re grateful to share this journey with you — and we welcome you to be a part of our fragrant world.
