Shankh Candle

A shankh-shaped vessel in cream streaked with caramel, filled with gold-flecked soy wax and decorated with pink wax lotus blooms and a single green lily pad. It is the conch of the morning aarti, made to hold a flame.

The wax is pure soy, hand-poured in Jalandhar, and the lotuses are set by hand, so each shankh is a little different. It is a decorative candle, not a real conch, so it is meant for the shelf rather than for blowing. A custom fragrance is available on request.

The Shankh Candle belongs on a mandir shelf, a pooja table or a console by the entrance. It makes a thoughtful Diwali gift for parents and grandparents, and it sits well beside the Lotus Candle if you are building a gift chest. Packed to royal packaging standards.
