Question

We know that religious items can be bought for more than the religious nature they reflect, give me an example of this happening. It happens a lot.

Answer 1

In the Hindu religion, the Hindus burn incense sticks before the idols of the Gods that they worship before enchanting mantras or prayers in the Temples. Hindus usually have a small temple-like space at their homes too, to offer prayers to their believed Gods daily, twice a day. Incense sticks, in this regard, is something that is frequently both by them. However, it certainly has more than the religious nature that they reflect.

In the grand festival of Diwali, which is a festival of lights, in India, the Hindus burst crackers, especially the cracker bomb, by igniting the wick of the crackers to by lighted, with the incense sticks. The demand hence for this religious item taking a form of fun and gathering in the society is evident in the festival of Diwali.
