The Karanji tealight is a fresh take on tealights inspired by a traditional Indian mithai or sweet treat called Karanji also known as as Karjikai or Karigadubu (in Kannada), Kajjikayalu (in Telugu), Ghughra (in Gujarati) and Somas (in Tamil) and Gujjiya in North India in different parts of the country. These half-moon-shaped fried pastries are stuffed with a mix of shredded coconut, dried fruits, sesame seeds and delicious seasonings. The tealight has been made using the traditional sheet metal work technique and spun by hand. Keeping traditional handcrafting processes intact, while creating a modern object that can be used in our homes.

These tealights make for an absolutely delightful addition to your festive celebrations, tablespace. They would stand out as Diwali gifts and favours – as they truly are one of a kind.
