About Us

Fragrance of Faith
Since 1952

In the heart of Mandai, Pune, Gholap Sugandhi has carried the fragrance of faith through generations. Founded in 1952 by brothers Shashikant Gholap and Dhananjay Gholap, the brand was born from a simple yet profound vision — to create pure, soulful scents that become part of every prayer and every home.

For over seven decades, we have devoted ourselves to crafting authentic aromatic experiences that bridge tradition and spirituality. From our iconic Masala Agarbattis — blended with care and distinctive natural ingredients — to our beloved Kesar Ashtagandha, every product embodies purity, peace, and devotion.

Our fragrances are trusted by devotees and temples alike, including Shirdi Sansthan, Udipi Krishna Mandir, and Datta Devasthan Ahmednagar. Beyond incense, our dhoop cups and sticks carry the same commitment to authenticity and spiritual connection. For us, fragrance is more than a scent — it is a prayer, a feeling, and a bond that endures through time.
