A scented soy candle inside a hand-beaten brass and bronze bell, made in Uttarakhand. The vessel is shaped after the temple bells that hang at the entrance to a Himalayan courtyard or a roadside shrine, the kind you reach up and ring without thinking, on the way in.

Hand-poured by a small home candlemaker in the foothills. The bell is forged by smiths from the Lohar community nearby, who have shaped temple and household bells in copper, bronze, and brass for generations. Each finish is one of a kind.

Available in assorted Himalayan fragrances. Each candle ships with one scent.

When the soy wax is finished, the brass bell stays. Refill it with a tealight, repurpose it as a small jar or incense holder, or keep it on a shelf. A handmade Indian candle that doesn't end up in the bin.

NOTE: Available for bulk orders for weddings, events, and corporate gifting on request.

Product Story

We found her by accident. A candlemaker in Uttarakhand, running a small home business while caring for her mother through illness. She makes all sorts of candles you can imagine, and this one is poured into bells, her business partner and another woman entrepreneur, sourced from Lohar smiths down the road, the same community that has been forging temple and household bells in those hills for generations.

The bells are hand-beaten from copper, bronze, and brass, then left to take on their own patina from heat and air. No two finishes match. The wax is poured slowly, in small batches, with fragrances chosen to settle into a room rather than fill it.

Care Instructions

Trim the wick to five mm before each lighting. Burn on a heat-safe surface. Allow a full melt pool on first burn to minimise tunnelling. Do not burn for more than three hours at a time. Never leave unattended. Once the wax is finished, wipe the brass vessel with a soft cloth and refill with a tealight, or repurpose as a small jar.
