DS & Durga Rama Won't You Please Come Home Candle is a spiced candle. Diwali is a major holiday in India and South Asia. The festive atmosphere is everywhere. Families gather to clean, pray and light candles to welcome Rama and Sita back from their exile in the forest, as well as other religious events for Hindus, Jains and Sikhs. I love the abundance of aromas found in India, from food to flowers and perfumes, seemingly everywhere. Diwali candles, called diyas, are usually oil or wax based in clay lamps. Rama Won't You Please Come Home recalls the tree blossoms and tropical woods of the forest where Rama and Sita were exiled, enhanced by a heart of opulent white flowers - tuberose and gardenia.
