The upper section of this candle stand made in silver is shaped like a fully opened lotus flower, with individual petals forming the candle cup. The lotus symbolizes purity, enlightenment, and divine beauty in Indian art. The stem is elegantly curved, with additional lotus buds along its length and a decorative embossed medallion at the junction of the stem and base. The circular base, supported by stylized clawed feet, features floral patterns. This piece may have been used in temple rituals, royal households, or colonial-era decorative arts, much like traditional aarti lamps and incense holders.
