Maharaja Candle Celebrating 50 Years ( Since 1974 )

We are candle makers since 1974. Although our goal is to remove darkness, don’t think that our team Maharaja Candle is a group of saints that came into the world to remove BLACK.

We are businessmen, earning bread and butter from wax candle manufacturing.

Our priorityregarding wax candle manufacturing : Pollution free, Smoke less, without Bad odour and Shooting less Candles. We want to see a Happy Smile on each and every face through our work.

We would like to make a humble request to you that please carefully verify whenever you buy a candle.

Our 50 years journey

A young man with a mission to be a saint in the Ramkrishna Order, was pursuing B.Sc. in mathematics in a college under University of Calcutta. In one fine morning his father, a great Sanskrit Scholar advised him to earn. The young man, who was the second son of his parents and also under-age at that time, did not a single question as in Ramayana Sri Ramchandra did not ask king Dasharatha any question about his banabas, Even though he became the crown price just the day before. According to his father's wish ,the young man went to United Commercial Bank (now UCO Bank) to meet Mr. Jatindranath Roy chowdhury (AGM, Finance, UCO Bank), and managed to receive a loan of Rs. 8640.00 only. In this, Rs.3640.00 was spent for the plant and machinery and the remaining Rs.5000.00 was used as the working capital.
