Incense sticks were widely used in temples across Asia to measure time for rituals, prayers, and meditation sessions. They burn at a relatively steady rate, making them practical timekeepers. Sundials require sunlight and wouldn't work indoors, while waterclocks and hourglasses were more complex mechanisms less commonly used in temple settings.
