When burning fragrant cones with the so-called back-flowing smoke, an effect is created in this stand, which resembles a flowing waterfall, gradually "falling" thanks to the holes in the censer to its bottom. The burning cone creates smoke - smoke that is heavier than air after burning. The smoke passes through the openings of the stand and thus creates the effect of "flowing smoke".

Never leave the stand unattended while burning the cone, keep it out of the reach of children .

Awakened, enlightened, is a being in Buddhism who has attained perfect realization, so-called enlightenment. Such beings are freed from the so-called three poisons of the mind, ie ignorance, anger and greed, and from suffering. The essence of being for them are the characteristic features of being, which means dissatisfaction, instability and insignificance.

The Buddha touching the Earth is the most common image in Thai temples. The Buddha sits cross-legged, with his left hand on his lap and his right hand touching the ground. This position is known as the "earth of the witness" mudra, also the "calling of the earth as a witness," and it is the definition of the moment of enlightenment for the Buddha.

According to legend , after six years of meditation under the Bodhi tree (the leaves of the sacred fig tree), Prince Siddharta was on the verge of enlightenment. At that moment, Mara, the demon of illusions, arrived, trying to dissuade Siddharta from taking the last steps to enlightenment. Siddharta meditated all night to overcome the fear and temptation sent by Mara. Mary sent his daughters to Siddhart to divert his attention from the path to enlightenment. However, with a single hand gesture, Siddharta transformed Mara's daughters into old women. Subsequently, Siddharta attained enlightenment and became a fully awakened Buddha.
