The Sacred Swim

This is a handcrafted brass candlestick holder in the form of a fish. Made from solid brass, the piece features fine hand-etched detailing on the fish’s scales and fins. A gracefully curved stem extends from the fish’s mouth to support a lotus-shaped candle cup, combining elegance with whimsical charm.

The fish is a timeless symbol in Indian culture, often associated with abundance, fertility, and good fortune. It also echoes the story of Matsya, the first avatar of Lord Vishnu, who is said to have saved the sacred texts and sages from a great flood. The Sacred Swim brings together artistry, symbolism, and function—making it a unique piece rooted in tradition.
