Kush Grass (Darbha) – Sacred Grass for Puja, Havan & Ritual Ceremonies

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

Kush Grass, also known as Darbha, holds deep spiritual importance in Hindu rituals, havan, shraddh ceremonies, temples, yajna, and Vedic rituals. It is considered highly sacred and is used in sankalp, purification rituals, kalash sthapana, and offerings into sacred fire.

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

If your business cultivates, bundles, packs, or sells Kush Grass for religious purposes, 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 religious plant product suppliers.
