Our Story
We are Manish and Archana, husband and wife, and the founders of Gopatha Organics LLP and our brand SONDHEE.
It all began at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like everyone else, people were deeply concerned about their health, especially their lungs. During that time, many turned to poojas, prayers, and meditation to seek blessings and protection. But as we offered incense to the divine, we noticed something troubling - the fumes were irritating our lungs instead of creating a peaceful, sacred atmosphere.
Curious and concerned, we started researching the incense industry and were shocked to discover that even major brands were using chemicals and substandard ingredients to cut costs. They were compromising health for profit, and people had no way of knowing.
This realization became our calling. We decided to create an incense recipe that is safe for our health, gentle on the lungs, and kind to the environment. Through careful experimentation, we developed our unique, natural cow dung–based incense infused with herbs and essential oils, bringing together purity, spirituality, and sustainability.
Thus, SONDHEE was born — a brand that honors tradition, protects well-being, and nurtures the Earth.


Our mission
At SONDHEE, our mission is to create pure, natural, and sustainable incense that nurtures health, uplifts the spirit, and honors the Earth. We are committed to preserving tradition while protecting well-being by crafting incense from cow dung, herbs, and essential oils — free from harmful chemicals. Guided by love, care, and integrity, we strive to bring peace into homes, positivity into prayers, and harmony into everyday life.
Our vision
At SONDHEE, our mission is to turn an everyday environmental challenge into a sustainable solution. Every day, tons of cow dung are discarded in open spaces, creating foul odor, unhygienic surroundings, and releasing harmful methane into the atmosphere.
We upcycle this waste into 100% natural incense cones, enriched with herbs and essential oils, to:
• Keep streets and communities cleaner
• Prevent methane emissions and support eco-friendly living
• Offer safe, chemical-free incense as a healthier alternative
• Revive the cultural and spiritual value of cow dung in modern life
SONDHEE stands for purity, sustainability, and conscious living—transforming waste into wellness, while honoring tradition and protecting our planet.
