Frequently Asked Questions

Which candles fit this holder?

It is made for standard tea lights, the same ones used during Diwali and everyday decor, and for small votive candles. Wax-filled tea lights in metal cups are the easiest to use and the cleanest to remove.

Will the brass tarnish over time?

Brass naturally darkens with age, which most people find suits the black stone. A dry cloth keeps it bright; skip liquid metal polishes as they can leave a film on the surrounding soapstone.

Does the stone get hot when a candle is burning?

It warms up gently but stays safe on a table because soapstone handles heat well and releases it slowly. Place it on a flat, heat-safe surface, keep it away from curtains and dupattas, and never leave a flame unattended.

Can I use it for diyas during Diwali?

Yes. Tea lights sit neatly in it, and it makes a good alternative to loose diyas on a console, mandir shelf or rangoli setup since the stone contains the heat and catches any drip.

Is each piece identical to the one shown in the images?

The design, size and finish stay the same, but natural stone carries its own grain and colour tone. Minor variation in shade, veining and carving detail is expected in hand-carved soapstone and makes each piece unique.

Handcrafted in India from natural soapstone. As every piece is carved and polished by hand, slight variations in shade, veining and carving detail are natural and make your piece one of a kind.
