Puja Perfumery & Exports operates from Kannauj, India's ancient attar-distilling town, where the firm holds itself out as a fourth-generation fragrance house with roots the family traces to 1925; company registration records list 1972 as the year the present partnership, under proprietor Govind Kumar Mehrotra, was formally established. Like its Kannauj neighbors, the house uses the deg-bhapka hydrodistillation method — copper stills over open flame, condensing fragrant vapor into a sandalwood-oil or DPG base — and opens its workshop to visitors who want to watch the process firsthand. Its range runs from traditional 100% natural attars to essential oils, absolutes, rose water, kewra water, and agarbatti compounds, sold as a direct manufacturer rather than a reseller, with worldwide shipping and wholesale terms alongside retail. The business, GI-certified under Kannauj's protected-heritage status, trades through its own website and a long-standing IndiaMART storefront (in its seventeenth year on the platform), giving it the kind of durable digital paper trail — rather than a bare parked domain — that distinguishes a working heritage distiller from an abandoned listing.
