Mandala candles with base

🌸 Mandala Candles with Stand – a Circle that Holds Everything Together

A mandala is not just a pretty pattern. It is a circle without beginning or end, a symbol that everything is connected. Our mandala candles with stands are like small altars – a stable base below, a perfect circle above. When burning, they create a unique central-burning effect. The flame gradually carves through the wax from top to bottom, forming a “U” shape in the center. It looks as if a mysterious temple of light is opening inside.


A story that touched us

Last year a yoga teacher came to us. “I need a mandala that lasts 12 hours,” she said. That’s a sacred number in yoga. We made her a mandala 25 cm in diameter with a double wick.

A month later she wrote: “It burned for exactly 12 hours and 17 minutes. The 17 minutes extra were my wish.” She sent a photo – the mandala had burned into a beautiful U-shape. It looked like a small portal full of light.

Since then, we’ve been making “12-hour mandalas.” People use them for retreats, meditation, or when they need to end something and begin anew.


Why a mandala with a stand? (It’s not just design)

🎯 Stability – physical and mental

The stand = the candle doesn’t fall. But it’s also symbolic – a firm base (stand) and endless possibilities (circle). Deep? Maybe. Does it work? Absolutely.

🌀 The “U-shape” effect

As the mandala burns, a deep U-shape forms inside. Light shines through the walls and casts gentle shadows around the room. Some people find it hypnotic (in a good way).

🏛️ Looks like art

Place the mandala on a table – even unlit, it looks like a sculpture. When lit, it looks like a living sculpture. Win-win.

🧘 A meditation tool

Fixing your gaze on the center of a burning mandala is an ancient meditation technique. It calms the mind. Or puts you to sleep. Both are fine.

How to use a mandala properly

  1. Place on a flat surface – the stand is stable, but not magic
  2. First burn at least 2 hours – to form the first center
  3. Watch it burn – every mandala burns differently, it’s alive
  4. Wick at 5 mm – shorter = better burning
  5. Enjoy it – a mandala isn’t just a candle, it’s an experience

Personalization (people love this)

For an extra 180 Kč we carve into the mandala:

  • Initials (M + T)
  • Date (14.2.2025)
  • Short word (LOVE, PEACE, OM)
  • Number (30, 108, 2025)
  • Small symbol (heart, star, moon)

The text appears as the mandala burns. It’s like magic – the message reveals itself in the light.


Frequently asked questions

What if the mandala burns unevenly?
That’s normal! Each burns slightly differently. Irregularities create unique patterns. It’s a feature, not a bug.

Can I have a mandala without a stand?
Yes, we have those too – category “Mandala Circle.” But with a stand it’s more stable and looks more elegant.

What’s the difference between a mandala and a circle?
A mandala has symbolic meaning and often a relief design. A circle is just... a circle. We offer both.

Does a mandala burn differently than a regular candle?
Yes – it burns down the center into a U-shape. Slower, more meditative. Not a quick light, but atmosphere.

How much is the 108-hour mandala?
1108 Kč. Yes, that number is not random. Esoteric folks love it.


🕉️ Mystical fact: In Tibetan Buddhism, monks create sand mandalas and then destroy them – a symbol of impermanence. Our wax mandalas do the same – they burn, change, disappear. But the light stays in memory.
