The 5 Stages of Deg-Bhapka Craft
Dawn Harvest
Fresh rose, jasmine, or kewra petals are hand-plucked at dawn before sunrise when essential oils peak.
Mud Sealing
Petals & rainwater are loaded into copper stills (*Deg*) and hermetically sealed with local clay mud.
Steam Flow
Gentle woodfire heats the Deg, driving fragrant steam through a bamboo pipe (*Chonga*).
Condensation
Steam condenses inside a receiver vessel (*Bhapka*) submerged in cold water, absorbing into pure sandalwood base.
Leather Ageing
The oil is aged in camel-hide leather flasks (*Kuppi*), allowing moisture to evaporate while sealing pure perfume.
