The brass camphor holder typically consists of a small bowl-shaped container with perforations or designs on its surface. It has a handle or a chain for easy handling. The camphor, usually in the form of a tablet or small pieces, is placed inside the holder. When the camphor is lit using a flame, it produces a fragrant smoke.

In Hindu rituals, the camphor holder is used during aarti, a devotional ritual where a tray with lit camphor is offered to deities. The holder is waved in a circular or figure-eight motion in front of the deity or sacred object, accompanied by chanting or singing of devotional hymns. This act is believed to purify the surroundings, ward off negative energies, and invoke the divine presence.
