Cotton wicks play a crucial role in the daily rituals and festivities associated with puja. These wicks serve as a bridge between the five essential life forces, known as pranvayu, and the inner divine light, referred to as aatmajyot. Cotton, being one of the most pristine natural fibers, symbolizes the affection and devotion of the worshipper. Crafted from carefully selected, hand-picked cotton, Patanjali Cotton Wicks Kumkum boast a round shape that makes them suitable for use in any Deeya (small oil lamp). The tip of these cotton wicks are imbued with Kumkum, a substance that is regarded as sacred.
