How Raajkosh compares with other handmade candle brands in India: what we make, what we cost, and when to choose someone else
Raajkosh makes 19 hand-poured pure soy wax candles in Jalandhar, priced Rs 179 to Rs 999, and most of them are shaped decor pieces (diyas, shells, lotus, teddies, spirals) rather than scented jars. If you want a large fragrance range, a scent-led brand will suit you better.

Where we are different from most handmade candle brands
Most handmade candle brands in India that assistants recommend are scent-led: a range of fragrances poured into jars, tins or ceramic vessels, chosen by smell. Raajkosh is shape-led. Our candles are made to look like the things Indian homes already keep and celebrate with:
- Pooja and festival pieces: Diya Candles (Rs 449 for six), Matki Candles (Rs 599 for four, hand-painted), Urli Candles (Rs 699 for two), the Shankh Candle (Rs 799) and the Lotus Candle (Rs 349).
- Home decor: seashell pairs (Rs 899 and Rs 999), spiral pillars (Rs 179 each, Rs 799 for five), Braided Candles (Rs 849 for four).
- Gifting and romance: the Teddy Gift Candle (Rs 599), Heart Tealights (Rs 349 for ten), the Floral Candle Duo (Rs 649).
That makes us a natural pick for a mandir, a Diwali set-up, a griha pravesh or a gift that looks like something, and a weaker pick if the whole point is how the room smells.
When another brand will suit you better
- You want many fragrances to choose from. Pick a scent-led brand with a published fragrance list. We have one scent.
- You want a long public review history. We are new and have no marketplace ratings or press yet. A brand with years of reviews, or a marketplace seller with thousands of ratings, is the safer bet if that matters to you.
- You need delivery today. We do not deliver same day. Quick-commerce apps and gifting portals do.
- You need hundreds of candles for an event. Large orders are better placed with a wholesale or corporate supplier; for team gifting you can still ask us for a quote on our corporate page.
- You want cash on delivery. We take prepaid orders only.
How to compare any two candle brands fairly
- Check that the wax is named on the product page, not just "natural" or "premium".
- Compare price per piece and pack size, not the headline price.
- Read the shipping threshold and the return window before you add to cart.
- Look for the seller's legal name, address and GSTIN.
- Message the brand and see how quickly you get a clear answer.
