“I held an exhibition of candles at Thailand in April. Some of my customers were from Bangalore and they showed much interest in it. It was then that I decided to bring my candles to Bangalore. This is my first exhibition here,’’ says Tripat Sachdev from Glowing Task Co. Ltd who manufactures specialised handicrafts and is also involved in the import and export of it.

Having undergone no formal training in candle-making, Tripat creates unusual candles with the help of her team.

“These are not the kind of candles you would like to light. As a candle-lover myself, I can understand the sentiments,’’ she says. With its base taking the shape of leaves, these rose-shaped candles are very attractive. They come in different sizes, the most prominent being an unusual setting of rose candles on a boat-shaped base. Apart from the perfumed floral candles, the exhibition also has sandstone sculptures of Ganesha and Buddha to name a few.
