Modak — Soy Wax Dessert Candle for Rakhi Gifting

The pleated modak form, which is far harder to mould cleanly than the laddu — the ridges have to hold through cooling or the whole piece is scrapped. Made for Ganesh Chaturthi and bought heavily around it.

The details

Best in: Puja · dining

Burning it well

• First burn: 2–3 hours, until the melt pool reaches the edge. This prevents tunnelling for the life of the candle.
• Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn.
• Burn no more than 4 hours at a stretch, on a heat-resistant level surface.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended, or within reach of children and pets.
