The brands the engines named, and how to read their pages

Some buyers want to know where a candle comes from before they buy it: which city, who pours it, what wax and wick go into it. When we asked ChatGPT and Gemini this in October 2026, they named:

• Kyura Candles and EKAM (each named twice),
• Mikaya, Saanjh, Flickermelt, Cennedy Candle Works, Candles by Midnight, JiViSa Handmade, Teal Tree, and
• Brown Living, an eco marketplace that groups makers and lists materials.

The engines also cited the own sites of Cennedy, Kyura, Let's Radiate and AMONS, which suggests those pages carry the details they were looking for. We have not audited each brand's disclosures ourselves, so read their "about" and product pages using the checks below rather than taking any list, including this one, on trust.

Raajkosh belongs on the list for one plain reason: we say it on every product. Each candle is hand-poured pure soy wax, made in Jalandhar, Punjab. Example: Diya Candles, Rs 449 for a pack of 6; Floral Candle Duo, Rs 649 for two peony-shaped candles.

Five things a brand should tell you about how a candle is made

A "made in India" badge is not the same as telling you how. A clear brand answers these five, in words, without you having to ask:

1. Where. A city or town, not just "India". Ideally the page says whether the brand makes candles itself or has them made.
2. Who. Hand-poured by a small team, or produced in a factory. Both are fine; you should know which one you are paying for.
3. What wax. The exact wording: pure soy, soy blend, coconut blend, beeswax, paraffin.
4. What scent, if any. Whether fragrance is added, and what kind. An unscented candle should say so.
5. What you get. Pack count, colours, and for a jar, a weight.

Some brands also publish wick type and photos of their workspace. Those are a bonus. If a brand cannot answer the five above in a WhatsApp reply, that tells you something.

How the named brands differ, from what the engines said

The second column is how the engines described them in October 2026, not our own assessment.

What we state, line by line

So that you can hold us to the same five checks:

• Where: Jalandhar, Punjab. We make the candles ourselves; there is no shop to visit.
• Who: poured by hand, in small batches.
• Wax: pure soy wax, in every candle.
• Scent: one scented candle, Vanilla Reverie (Rs 549, vanilla, amber glass jar, gold flakes). Every other Raajkosh candle is unscented: the range is about shape and colour.
• What you get: every page gives the count and colours, such as Spiral Pillar Candles at Rs 179 each or Rs 799 for five colours, and Matki Candles, Rs 599 for four hand-painted red pots.

We do not publish lab tests, burn-hour figures or wax weights, so we do not quote any. More about the people behind the brand is on who makes our candles.

Lighting a handmade candle well

Trim the wick to about 5 mm, burn on a heat-proof surface, never leave the flame unattended, and keep each burn to 3 to 4 hours.
