Handmade Candles in India
Looking for handmade candles in India that feel personal, carefully made and gift-ready? Maelora By Misha creates handcrafted candles in small batches — designed for home décor, celebrations and thoughtful gifting.
From softly scented jars to sculptural flower candles and decorative pieces, each design is finished by hand so no two pieces feel mass-produced.
This guide explains what “handmade” means in our studio, the kinds of candles we make, and how to choose a piece for your home or as a gift.
What makes a candle handmade
A handmade candle is shaped, finished and checked by people — not only poured into a mould and shipped. Details such as petals, sculpted edges, painted accents or gift packing are completed by hand, so the piece has visible character.
At Maelora By Misha, that usually means small-batch pouring, careful finishing of floral and decorative forms, and packing that is ready for a shelf or a gift table. The result is a candle that can sit as décor even before it is lit.
Types of handmade candles we offer
Our catalogue is organised by how you want to use the candle — scent for everyday rooms, flowers for the table, sculptural pieces for shelves, festive designs for celebrations, and packed boxes when you need something gift-ready.
Scented candles
Soy wax jar candles with calm, everyday fragrances — useful when you want the room to feel softer after a long day. Start with the scented candles collection if fragrance is your priority.
Flower candles
Sculpted floral designs that work as centrepieces. Roses, tulips, lotuses and similar forms are finished by hand so they look considered on a dining table or console.
Decorative & sculptural candles
Statement pieces for shelves, side tables and styled corners — chosen as much for form as for flame. These suit homes that treat candles as part of the décor, not only as fragrance.
Festive & spiritual candles
Designs made for Diwali, celebrations and quieter spiritual moments — from urli and tealight sets to Buddha and lotus pieces. Browse festive & spiritual candles when the occasion calls for something seasonal.
Gift boxes & hampers
When the present should feel complete, choose a packed candle gift box or a curated hamper. These are useful for festivals, housewarmings and return gifts where presentation matters as much as the candle itself.

Handmade candles for home décor
Many Maelora pieces are designed to look finished while unlit. A floral centrepiece can stay on the dining table between dinners; a sculptural candle can sit on a shelf beside books and ceramics.
If you are styling a room, think about scale and colour first — a larger bowl or flower design for a centrepiece, a quieter jar or smaller form for a bedside or reading corner. Fragrance can come second if the candle’s main job is visual.
Handmade candles as gifts
Candles make warm, easy gifts for housewarmings, birthdays, festivals and just-because moments. A handcrafted piece feels personal without requiring you to guess clothing sizes or exact décor tastes.

How to choose the right handmade candle
A simple way to decide:
- Start with the purpose — everyday scent, table décor, festive ritual, or a gift.
- Pick the form that suits the space — jar, flower centrepiece, sculptural piece or packed set.
- Match the occasion if you are gifting — birthday, housewarming, festival, wedding or just because.
- Enquire on WhatsApp if you need fragrance options, size, packing or bulk quantities confirmed.

How Maelora candles are made
Each piece begins with careful pouring and shaping. Floral details, decorative finishes and gift packaging are completed by hand in small batches in India, so the final candle feels intentional rather than factory-flat.
