I ordered the set of four rose votives for Diwali, not expecting much, but they look carved, not poured. Every petal is so neatly shaped that I almost didn’t want to light them. When I finally did, the glass glowed beautifully and the sandalwood filled the whole living room. Three of my guests asked for the link the same evening.

I bought this for my desk and it’s become the prettiest thing in my room. The lavender is calming but not overpowering, perfect for long work evenings. The lotus jar has a lovely weight and finish, and it doesn’t feel like a regular candle jar at all. Once the candle is done, I’m keeping it for my rings and earrings.

This was the centrepiece of our Lakshmi pooja this year, and it truly stole the show. The lotus candles look so lifelike floating in the urli, and the colours are rich and festive. It arrived perfectly packed, with not a single petal chipped. My mother-in-law has already asked me to order another one for her mandir.
