Diwali celebrations are as much about creating an atmosphere as they are about bringing people together, and candles are a perfect way to elevate your home décor. Apart from their soft and radiant glow, they bring an element of sensory indulgence, filling your home with soothing fragrances. You can choose to style candles as centrepieces on a dining table, place them across console units, or keep them in cosy corners; they never fail to add character to the room. Here are some of the best luxury candles for a Diwali party from trending brands like Jo Malone, Rad Lvng, Nicobar and more.
A celebration of Indian craftsmanship with a contemporary luxe sensibility, the Khwaab Bagh Urli by Rad Lvng is more than just a scented candle; it is a statement-making décor accent for your home. Handcrafted in metal, the urli features intricate floral carvings along its exterior, complemented by glossy gold finishes. Its flickering flames create a mesmerising glow, making it an elegant centrepiece for gatherings and intimate dinners. It comes in two lingering fragrances: oud-kissed rose and raat bloom. And the best part? Once the wax burns away, the urli becomes a beautiful décor piece.
