'Dhruva' Glass Votive Set of 2 in Glass and Wood

Provenance

Two individual glass tealight votives, each with its own decorated wooden base — not a tray set but two separate, complete pieces. Each holds a flame independently; the cylindrical glass form is the most direct votive type: transparent, open, the flame visible from every angle. In Hindu mythology, Dhruva is the child-devotee who achieved through unwavering meditation the status of the Pole Star — the fixed point around which the night sky revolves. Dhruva is the quality of the flame that does not flicker, the constant amid the turning, the point of constancy against which all motion is measured.

These two votives carry that quality independently. Place them together or apart — one on a side table, one at a bedside, one on either end of a mantelpiece. Each piece is dhruva in its own position: the unwavering flame, stable in itself, indifferent to what moves around it. The decorated wooden base anchors each piece; the gold-tone print adds warmth below the glass.

• Glass tealight cups are individually fitted. Minor variations in placement are expected.
• The printed wooden base may show slight colour variations — a natural feature of the handcrafted process.
