Sunflower Hammered Bowl - Soy Wax Sculpted Candle for Diwali & Puja Gifting
Cash on Delivery available
The sunflower form seated in a hand-hammered bowl rather than floating free. The metal holds the heat, so the melt pool opens faster and the throw builds in about half the usual time.
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.
