Entrance and Doorway: Line your entrance with 5–7 Ladoo or Modak candles on small earthen plates. Add marigold petals between them for a traditional rangoli effect.

Living Room Centrepiece: Place a Tulip or Oreo Delight Jar candle in the centre of your coffee table, surrounded by Peony candles and floating diyas in a glass bowl.

Puja Room: Arrange Modak and Peony candles on the puja shelf alongside diyas. The familiar sweet shapes feel right at home during Lakshmi puja.
