The Story Behind Flickr

Flickr Candles was born from homesickness and hope. Founded by Manik Kaur, a first-generation Indian immigrant who moved from Delhi to the USA, and then to Toronto, Flickr represents the light that guides us through transitions, the warmth of home when you're far away, and the traditions we carry across oceans.

Each candle is handmade in small batches from Manik's Toronto home, where she works as a data analyst by day (9-5) and a candle maker by night (5-9). Every design is inspired by real life—Indian mithai, cultural traditions, meaningful moments—and crafted with custom-made moulds that can't be found anywhere else.

Flickr Candles isn't just about wax and wick. It's about keeping culture alive, creating connection, and proving that you can build something beautiful while honoring where you came from.
