Laxmi Ma Feet - Soy Wax Jar Candle for Wedding Favours
Cash on Delivery available
The charan — Lakshmi's footprints — are drawn at the doorway at Diwali to invite her in. This is that gesture in wax, and it is the single most-ordered piece in the festival range. Placed at the entrance, facing inward.
Warm sandalwood, like incense in a temple courtyard. Quiets a room.
Dark rose over smoky oud. Rich and grown-up — an evening scent.
Rose and saffron, the way a Kashmiri wedding smells. Warm and celebratory.
Fresh jasmine over green tea. Light and clean, never heavy.
Soft vanilla and amber. Cosy and sweet without being sickly.
Cardamom and musk — chai spice, with more depth than sweetness.
Marshmallow, almond and vanilla. A bakery at opening time.
Ripe mango and coconut. Bright and fruity, summer in a jar.
Wet earth just after the first rain. Green, cool and grounding.
Sea salt and sun-bleached wood. Airy, like a coastal morning.
Cedar and cool pine air. Crisp, calm, a hill-station morning.
Bright orange peel over soft rosewood. Fresh and uplifting.

Burn & care
Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn. This is the single thing that most affects how your candle performs — an untrimmed wick smokes, mushrooms and burns through wax far faster.
First burn: let it run 2–3 hours until the melt pool reaches the edge. Soy wax has a memory; if the first burn tunnels, every burn after it will tunnel.
In Indian summers: keep candles out of direct sunlight and away from a hot windowsill. Soy softens above roughly 35°C. If a piece softens in transit it re-firms in a cool room within a couple of hours.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from curtains, children and pets.

Burn ritual
How to enjoy it
Three small habits for a cleaner burn and a scent that lasts to the last centimetre.
-
2 to 3 hoursStep 1: Make the first burn count
Let it burn until the melted wax reaches the edge. This stops tunnelling for every burn after.
-
5 mmStep 2: Trim the wick each time
A short wick gives a steady flame, no smoke and a longer-lasting candle.
-
Up to 4 hoursStep 3: Burn, then rest
Blow it out after 4 hours and let it cool fully before lighting again.
