How delivery and collection work

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

Long twisted cotton wicks by Kanchan, supplied in a sealed pack. The type used in a standing diya or a hanging akhand jyot rather than a small oil lamp.

A twisted wick draws oil steadily up its whole length and holds a taller, more even flame than a rolled vati — which is what you want when the lamp has to stay lit unattended rather than be watched through a single aarti.

Significance: Used wherever a flame must be kept burning continuously: the akhand jyot lit through the nine nights of Navratri, or the lamp kept alight through a Satyanarayan katha or an akhand paath. An unbroken flame is understood as an unbroken prayer, so the wick matters.

Good for

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

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.
