How delivery and collection work

Handmade items, so colours and details may differ a little from the photo.

Hand-rolled cotton phool vati — the round, bud-shaped wicks that sit in an oil diya. Three pack sizes.

The bud shape is not decorative: it keeps the wick sitting steady in the oil instead of rolling to the edge of the bowl, and holds the flame upright and central so it burns evenly through a long aarti. Pure cotton takes ghee cleanly and leaves little residue, so the diya wipes out easily afterwards.

Significance: The vati is the part of the lamp that actually burns, and it is the one thing in the mandir cupboard that genuinely runs out. Most households keep a bag in and top it up before each festival, since a single Diwali evening can take a hundred or more.

Good for

Daily diya and aarti
Diwali and Kartik month
Akhand jyot in Navratri

Choosing a size:

Small — everyday use at the home mandir
Medium — the festival size, for Navratri and Diwali at home
Large — bulk, for a mandal, a katha, or a household lighting diyas right through the house

Details:
Material: cotton
Pack sizes: small, medium, large

About our handmade products

Most of what we sell is made by hand in India: our murtis, mandirs, pooja items, sarees and clothing. Because each piece is made by hand, no two are exactly the same. The carving, painting, pattern, stitching or finish may differ a little from the photo. Wood grain and marble markings are natural and vary from piece to piece.

Colours can also look slightly different on each phone or laptop screen, and sizes are approximate.

If you need an exact colour, size or pattern, please message us on WhatsApp with a photo, or visit our shops on Ealing Road, Wembley, to see the item before you buy.
