This is a set of two hand-embroidered lotus tealight holders, both in the same colour - choose Red or Yellow. Each five-petal lotus measures 11 x 11 cm and holds a standard tealight in a gold-tone metal cup ringed with pearl beads. It is made for Diwali tables, the home mandir and every evening you want a little more light.

Every petal is filled with dense silk-thread embroidery, outlined in gold zari and edged with shimmering sequins and tiny beads. Lit or unlit, they look like a pair of kamal blooms resting on your table.

Two Colours, One Lotus

• Red - deep red silk petals with a warm yellow edge, copper-toned sequins and a plain gold-tone tealight cup.
• Yellow - golden yellow silk petals with a red edge, gold and green sequins and a gold filigree cup with a mirror base that bounces the flame back up.

Each set contains two holders of the colour you choose. Pick one of each colour as two separate sets if you want to mix them on a thali or across a doorway.

Why the Lotus

The lotus (kamal) is Goddess Lakshmi's seat and her flower. It rises clean from muddy water, which is why it stands for purity, grace and prosperity in Hindu homes. Placing a lit lotus at the entrance or before the mandir on Diwali night is a quiet way of welcoming her in.

What You Get

• 2 lotus tealight holders in one colour (Red or Yellow)
• Size: 11 x 11 cm each
• Silk-thread embroidery, gold zari outline, sequins, beads and a pearl-bead ring around the cup
• Gold-tone metal tealight cup (filigree cup with mirror base on Yellow)
• Tealight candles are not included - any standard tealight fits

How to Use Them

• Set a tealight inside the metal cup only, never directly on the embroidery.
• Place on a flat, stable surface, away from curtains, flowers and torans.
• Never leave a lit tealight unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
• Let the cup cool before removing the used tealight. Wipe the cup with a dry cloth and keep the holders flat and dry between festivals.

Unlit, they also work as a decorative base for a small Ganesh or Lakshmi idol, a kumkum bowl or a single rose on your pooja thali.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are these lotus tealight holders?

Each holder measures about 11 x 11 cm across the petals. The set includes two holders of the same colour.

Are tealight candles included?

No, the holders come without candles. Any standard tealight fits the metal cup, and you can also use LED tealights.

Can I get one red and one yellow in the same set?

Each set is two holders in one colour. To mix colours, add one Red set and one Yellow set to your cart.

Is it safe to light a candle on fabric embroidery?

Yes, as long as the tealight sits inside the metal cup, which keeps the flame raised away from the embroidery. Never leave it unattended, and keep it away from anything that can catch fire.

Can I use them on my pooja thali?

Yes. At 11 cm they sit comfortably on most thalis and mandir ledges, lit for aarti or unlit as a base for a small idol or kumkum bowl.

Do they come in a gift box?

They are packed securely without a gift box, which keeps the price friendly for return gifts. Add your own pouch or tray for gifting.
