Datura (Dhatura) – Sacred Offering for Shiv Puja & Religious Rituals

Trademark Class 31 under the NICE Classification covers raw and unprocessed agricultural, horticultural, forestry products, natural plants, fruits, flowers, and items of plant origin.

Datura (Dhatura) is a sacred plant offering traditionally associated with Lord Shiva. Its fruit, flower, and leaves are commonly offered during Shiv Puja, Maha Shivratri, temples, shravan rituals, havan, and religious ceremonies. It holds spiritual importance and is believed to symbolize devotion and surrender to the divine.

Since Datura is a natural, raw, and unprocessed plant product, it is correctly classified under Trademark Class 31.

If your business cultivates, bundles, packs, or sells Datura for religious use, your brand should be registered under Class 31 to secure trademark protection.

This class is essential for temple suppliers, agricultural-based puja samagri vendors, spiritual goods traders, and natural plant product suppliers.
