Hashish is referred to as Charas.
This is typically combined with tobacco and smoked in a chillum, which is a straight pipe.

Smoking is a social pastime and a ritual of hospitality for many ascetics, as well as a religious gesture that emulates the deity Shiva, who is renowned for his love of the substance.
