Corporate gifts in Kolkata: handmade shankh, diya and lotus candles for Durga Puja, Kali Puja and Poila BaisakhCorporate gifts in Kolkata: handmade shankh, diya and lotus candles for Durga Puja, Kali Puja and Poila Baisakh

Kolkata gifts around the Pujas

In Kolkata the gifting year turns on Durga Puja. Offices slow down, the Puja bonus is paid, families shop for new clothes, and the city spends five days pandal-hopping. Companies that gift staff often do it just before the Pujas, when people are heading out on leave. A few weeks later, Kali Puja falls on the same night as Diwali, and that is when many firms send their client and dealer gifts. Christmas on Park Street and the New Year matter for companies with global ties, and Poila Baisakh in spring brings the Bengali New Year, with its own business tradition (more on that below).

Raajkosh is a small maker of handmade soy wax candles in Jalandhar, Punjab. We take corporate orders from 10 gifts with no minimum order value, add your logo on the gift tag, the note card or a wax seal, issue a GST invoice with your billing name, address and GSTIN, and deliver to one office or every address on your list. We have no store or office in Kolkata; every order ships from Jalandhar, and your quote confirms the timeline.

The shankh in a Bengali home, and on a client's shelf

The shankh, the conch, is part of daily ritual in many Bengali homes; it is blown at the evening prayer and at every Puja. Our Shankh Candle borrows that shape: a cream vessel streaked with caramel, filled with gold-flecked soy wax and set with pink wax lotuses. It is decorative, not a real conch, so it sits on a shelf rather than being blown. For a Kolkata client or a senior colleague, it is a gift with a meaning they will recognise at once.

Pieces for Sector V teams and Dalhousie firms

Kolkata's buyers range from IT and services companies in Salt Lake Sector V and New Town, to the old business houses, tea, jute and engineering firms, and banks around Dalhousie and Camac Street, to trading families in Burrabazar.

For a top client above Rs 999, the Shankh Candle with a Lotus Candle comes to Rs 1,148 at shop prices, or with Diya Candles to Rs 1,248. The quote confirms the final price per gift with branding and delivery.

If your office building restricts open flames, the gift goes home, or you choose another gift.

Poila Baisakh and Haal Khata gifting

On Poila Baisakh, many Kolkata traders and shopkeepers open a new account book, the Haal Khata, with a puja, and invite their regular customers in for sweets and a small gift. Businesses that keep this custom need many small, identical, auspicious gifts. A single Lotus Candle or a set of Diya Candles with your shop's name on the tag fits that table well. Tell us the date and the count, and the quote will be set against it.

Mishti, sarees and the usual Kolkata gift

Kolkata's festive gifts are often a box of mishti from a known sweet shop, a saree or kurta for the Pujas, dry fruits, tea from a Darjeeling or Assam estate, or a voucher. Local sweet shops and gifting firms do those well, and with same-city delivery. A handmade candle is the gift that is still on the shelf at next year's Puja.
