Rui batti, also called kesar batti, is the hand-rolled cotton wick that keeps a diya glowing through daily pooja, aarti and festive nights. Each wick carries a kesar-orange tip that catches light quickly and burns clean in ghee or oil. Choose the round gol batti for everyday diyas or the long lambi batti for akhand jyot and taller lamps. Every pack holds 100 wicks.

Two types, one pack size

• Round - Gol Batti: the classic short round wick that settles into any clay or brass diya. The everyday choice for morning and evening aarti.
• Long - Lambi Batti: a longer wick that stands taller in the ghee and burns longer. Made for akhand jyot, deeper lamps and long pooja sittings.

How it comes to you

Each order arrives as a sealed pouch of 100 wicks, so the cotton stays clean and dry between poojas. Keep the pouch closed and away from damp, and the wicks will stay ready to light right through the festive season.

Why devotees love it

• Pure soft cotton that soaks up ghee and oil evenly for a steady, calming flame
• Kesar-tipped tops light fast and hold their shape as they burn
• 100 wicks per pack, enough for a full festive season rather than a single evening
• Works with clay diyas, brass diyas and akhand jyot lamps alike

How to use

Rest a wick inside your diya, add ghee or oil until the base is soaked, then light the kesar tip. Gently trim any burnt end before the next use to keep the flame clean and bright. For akhand jyot, use the long lambi batti and top up the ghee before it runs low.

Perfect for

Daily home pooja, morning and evening aarti, Diwali, Navratri, Karwa Chauth, grah pravesh and havan rituals. Pairs naturally with our hand-painted clay diyas.

Frequently asked questions

What is rui batti and why is it called kesar batti?
Rui batti is a cotton wick for diyas. It is also called kesar batti because each wick is finished with a saffron-orange kesar tip that helps it light quickly.

How many wicks come in one pack?
Each pack contains 100 cotton wicks, in your choice of round gol batti or long lambi batti.

How are the wicks packed?
They arrive in a sealed pouch of 100. Keeping the pouch closed protects the cotton from damp, so the wicks light cleanly even months later.

What is the difference between gol batti and lambi batti?
Gol batti is the short round wick that sits inside an ordinary diya. Lambi batti is longer, stands taller in the ghee and burns for longer, which suits akhand jyot and deeper lamps.

Can I use these with both ghee and oil?
Yes. The pure cotton soaks up both ghee and oil evenly, giving you a steady flame for aarti and pooja.

Do these come pre-soaked in ghee?
No. These are plain cotton wicks, so you add your own ghee or oil. That lets you use the ghee your family prefers for pooja.

How long does one wick burn?
It depends on how much ghee or oil your diya holds. A round wick in a small clay diya usually burns through an aarti, while a long wick in a deeper lamp will carry on considerably longer.

Will they fit my diya?
The round gol batti sits comfortably in most standard clay and brass diyas. Choose the long lambi batti for akhand jyot lamps and taller vessels.

Do you deliver in the UAE?
Yes, we deliver across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and the wider UAE, with free delivery on orders above AED 30.
