Quick answer

Can incense sticks be used in a havan?

Incense sticks are not offered into the havan fire, which takes ghee, samagri and samidha; but agarbatti and dhoop are lit at the altar and around the room during the havan to keep the space fragrant. Our sticks are for lighting, not for the fire.
