Ten gold blossom t-light holders, four inches across and barely more than an inch tall. Six soft rounded lobes, a plain gold finish, and nothing else going on - which is the point when you want a run of small lights rather than one centrepiece.

Why this one
Ten is the number that changes a room. One or two decorative diyas look like an ornament; ten of the same simple shape along a console, a stair edge or a doorway reads as lighting. These are deliberately the plainest of our gold sets so they can be repeated without the room getting busy. The potli option adds ten bandhani drawstring bags if you are handing them out one at a time.
Which one do I need
We carry four gold metal shapes and they are genuinely different objects, not colourways of one thing:
- Lotus, 5 in, set of 6 - the widest and most sculptural, with long pointed petals that splay outward like an open water lily. The showpiece of the four.
- Dhanteras blossom, 4 in, set of 10 - shallow and simple, six rounded lobes. The one to buy when you want a lot of small lights across a long table.
- Kamal cup, 3.25 in, set of 10 - the only deep one, a fluted little bowl 1.75 in tall. Holds the flame down inside, so it does not blow out as easily.
- Jali shade, 4.5 in, set of 4 - not a dish at all but a tapered pierced lantern 3.5 in tall. The light comes out through the cut pattern rather than off the top.
Where it works
Along a hallway console, down both sides of an entry path, around a rangoli, on the steps up to a front door. Low and stable enough that they do not worry you near foot traffic.
Gifting
This is the set people buy for Dhanteras and then give away in ones and twos. Choose the potli version and each holder goes out in its own bandhani bag with no wrapping needed at your end.
Questions people ask
What size tea light fits?
A standard 1.5 inch tea light, the size sold in bags at any grocery store. LED tea lights of the same size sit just as well.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. This is iron under a gold polish, so keep it dry, do not put it in the dishwasher, and wipe out any spilled wax once it has cooled and lifted out.
What comes in the potli option?
Ten bandhani drawstring bags, 8 by 8 inches, in mixed colours - yellow, red, ivory and pink with gold tassels. The colours that arrive are whatever is in stock, not chosen.
Can I float these in water?
No. These are iron under a gold polish, and standing water will work under the finish and cause rust. For floating diyas you want an urli bowl instead.
Do they stack for storage?
Yes, they nest into each other. The whole set goes back into one small box between festivals.
Can I use them outdoors?
For an evening, yes - a covered porch or a still patio is fine. Bring them in overnight. Dew and sprinklers are what damage a gold polish, not the outdoors itself.
Where are these made?
India, by hand. Small differences between pieces in a set are normal and are how you can tell handwork from a machine-pressed import.
Can I order a larger quantity for an event?
Yes. Sets like this go out for weddings, temple events and office Diwali parties fairly often. Message us with your date and rough numbers before you order ten sets and we will tell you what we can hold.
