Attar is an oil — it has no alcohol, sits close to the skin, and releases slowly over hours as it warms. It is why a single drop lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the deg and bhapka method?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the traditional Indian way of making attar, still practised at Kannauj. The material is distilled in a copper still — the \u003cem\u003edeg\u003c\/em\u003e — over a wood fire, and the vapour is condensed into a receiver called the \u003cem\u003ebhapka\u003c\/em\u003e. There are no solvents and no alcohol at any stage. It is slow, it is done by hand, and it is why Kannauj attars are made the way they have been for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does alcohol-free matter for puja?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMany households will not bring alcohol into the puja space.

In the Vaishnava tradition it is regarded as sacred in itself, because it is the ground the Lord walked on. \u003cem\u003eRaj\u003c\/em\u003e means dust; \u003cem\u003eBraj\u003c\/em\u003e is the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it acceptable to keep temple soil at home?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Devotees have carried Braj Raj home from pilgrimage for centuries.
