Nariyal Churni (Coconut Powder for Puja & Religious Use)

#Trademark Class 3 – Complete Guide for Applicants

Trademark Class 3 under the NICE Classification covers non-medicated cosmetic preparations, cleaning substances, fragrant powders, incense-related items, and puja-use powders meant for personal, religious, or household use.

Nariyal Churni, commonly known as coconut powder for puja, is widely used in Hindu religious rituals, havans, temples, and household worship as a sacred offering (bhog or samagri).
Since it is a processed, non-edible, non-medicated religious powder, it falls under Trademark Class 3.

If your business manufactures or sells Nariyal Churni, puja samagri powders, or religious-use coconut powder, your brand must be registered under Class 3 for trademark protection.

This class is essential for puja samagri manufacturers, religious product brands, temple supply companies, and spiritual product startups.
