Trademark Class 21 under the NICE Classification covers household utensils, containers, metal articles, glassware, earthenware, and religious-use articles and accessories.
An Agarbatti Stand is a religious accessory used to hold incense sticks (agarbatti) during Hindu puja, aarti, temples, havan, festivals, and daily worship. It ensures safe burning of incense while maintaining cleanliness and enhancing the spiritual atmosphere.
Since Agarbatti Stand is a physical household/religious utensil (non-consumable item), it is correctly classified under Trademark Class 21.
If your business manufactures or sells Agarbatti Stands for religious or decorative purposes, your brand must be registered under Class 21 for trademark protection.
This class is essential for puja samagri brands, brassware manufacturers, home décor companies, temple suppliers, and religious accessory sellers.
