Religion can be defined as an organized belief system consisting of practices related to the worship of a single or multiple supernatural forces. Some of the commonly practiced religious and spiritual beliefs in India include Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism and Christianity. They involve various beliefs, worldviews, texts, revelations, morals and prophecies that portray sacred significance to the members of a particular faith. Individuals also practice sermons, rituals, prayers, meditation and feasts as per their devotion to religious faith. On the other hand, spirituality is an overlapping concept that involves practices and beliefs around the value, connection and meaning of the existence of an individual. It is usually practiced to achieve a positive state of mind with contentment, acceptance and gratitude. Individuals indulge in religious and spiritual tourism, donation drives, books and literature tools, flowers, garlands, candles and incense sticks to practice and propagate their beliefs.

The India religious and spiritual market is primarily driven by the increasing pilgrimage tourism across the country. The Government of India is launching various initiatives and projects, such as pilgrimage rejuvenation and spirituality, heritage augmentation drive (PRASHAD) and heritage city development and augmentation yojana, for promoting the infrastructural development at various heritage sites. These policies aim to provide adequate resources for effective rail, road and water transport systems, network connectivity, information centers, drinking water and renewable power for the enhanced convenience of pilgrims and tourists. In line with this, the increasing consumer preference for incense-based products for religious, spiritual and meditational purposes is also contributing to the growth of the market. Temples, churches and other religious establishments widely use products, such as agarbatti, dhoop and candles, for their daily spiritual and religious regimes. Other factors, including the advent of virtual reality (VR) kiosks to provide an immersive and interactive experience of religious sites to the devotees, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
