Hand-poured candles, made in Bhopal.

The Soulmerè is a small candle studio in Bhopal. Every urli, diya and sculpted flower is hand-poured here in natural soy and coconut wax — never moulded in bulk, never rushed. What leaves the studio is a piece someone made slowly, with both hands, for one particular home.

The collection runs from quiet everyday tealight pairs to the big round urlis that anchor a festive table. Our terracotta diyas come from local artisans we work with directly, each one finished with wax flowers poured petal by petal. Choose your fragrance — rose, sandalwood, amber, mogra, lavender, vintage oud — or keep them unscented; either way the wax burns clean and slow, the way soy should.

For Diwali we pour gifting sets — the Puja Set, urli trios and terracotta bundles — packed and ready to give. Families across Bhopal gift them to neighbours and hosts; companies send them to teams and clients. Bulk and corporate gifting starts at ten boxes, with tiers and pricing on our gifting page, and we always share a quote before anything is poured. If you'd rather compose your own, the build-your-own boxes let you pick floating daisies, sunflowers and peonies piece by piece, in the colours and fragrances of the person you're gifting.

Delivery across Bhopal is ₹49, and free over ₹499. If you'd like your order carried over with extra care, choose founder delivery at checkout — for ₹200, Samiksha hand-delivers it herself, at a time that suits you. And if you're elsewhere in the country, we ship across India: every order is poured fresh and dispatched within 3–5 working days.

However it reaches you, the ritual is the same — a wick, a flame, and a small pause at the end of the day.
