Samidha (Havan Wood Sticks) – Sacred Wood for Yagya & Havan Rituals

#Trademark Class 31 – Complete Guide for Applicants

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

Samidha, commonly known as Havan Wood Sticks, are sacred pieces of natural wood used in Hindu havan, yagya, homa, temples, festivals, and religious ceremonies. Samidha is offered into the sacred fire along with mantras, symbolising purification, devotion, and the offering of natural elements to the divine.

Since Samidha consists of raw, natural, unprocessed wood sticks, it is correctly classified under Trademark Class 31.

If your business collects, processes (cut/size only), bundles, or sells Samidha for religious use, your brand should be registered under Class 31 for trademark protection.

This class is essential for temple suppliers, puja samagri vendors, religious product manufacturers dealing in natural items, and forestry-based spiritual goods businesses.
