This devotional dance is performed holding a dhunuchi, an earthen pot containing burning coconut husk and fragrant dhuno .Dhuno is the Indian equivalent of frankincense, a plant resin of sal tree and the dhunuchi is a flared shaped earthen pot which is used to light the mixture. The aroma which comes from it is regarded as holy and is believed to have a purifying effect.
