Lighting a Dalit candle is so much more than bringing a warm glow into your home—it’s stepping into a story of dignity, artistry, and meaningful change. These handcrafted candles don’t just fill a room with soft light and inviting fragrance; they help uplift a community that has faced generations of marginalization. Each purchase supports dignified work for the Dalit people of India, turning an everyday item into a quiet act of hope.

The clay pots themselves trace their roots back about 150 years, when potters from Gujarat settled in what is now Mumbai. Today, around 300 of these families continue their craft in Dharavi—one of Asia’s largest and most densely populated slums. As Dalits, historically labeled “untouchable,” they were long expected to do work considered “unclean,” including shaping clay from the earth. For generations, these same pots were used to reinforce stigma: Dalits were often forced to drink from them and then shatter them as a sign of their social status.

Dalit Goods has helped reclaim these pots with new purpose—symbols not of shame, but of beauty, resilience, and hope. Skilled potters shape each vessel from raw clay into a small work of art. Dalit women then hand-pour each candle in a small production studio, creating full-time, dignified employment before the candles are packed and shared with homes around the world.

Over the years, the work of Dalit Goods Co has also supported projects that provide safe, loving homes for children across India. At the heart of it all is a commitment to long-term, life-changing impact.

When you choose Dalit Goods, you’re embracing ethical purchasing and standing with artisans whose lives are transformed through meaningful work.

We warmly call these candles “D’lights” (short for Dalit lights)—a charming, thoughtful alternative to metal tealights. They make wonderful wedding favors and delightful little stocking stuffers.

Dalit Goods | Ethically handmade by artisans in India

At Dalit Goods Co., we are a company with a difference — driven by a passion to improve the lives of the poor and marginalised in India.

Launched in 2010, Dalit Goods was created to raise awareness of the plight of India’s Dalit people and to support the ongoing work of Life Association (UK Registered Charity No. 1115262). For over 25 years, Life Association has been building and managing schools and children’s homes for Dalit children across India, offering them safety, education, and hope for a brighter future.

Our products — from handmade clay pot candles to coconut oil soaps and hand-painted home décor — are ethically sourced, eco-friendly, and plastic-free. More importantly, they provide dignified employment opportunities for the Dalit community and contribute directly to Life Association’s mission.

We combine Western design with Eastern craftsmanship, and are committed to the highest standards of ethical and environmental responsibility in everything we create.

By choosing Dalit Goods, you are embracing ethical consumption while making a real difference in the lives of India’s most marginalised people.

For over 3,000 years, India’s caste system has discriminated against those born outside its hierarchy — the 250 million people once called "untouchables", now known as Dalits, meaning "downtrodden" or "oppressed".

For centuries, Dalits have faced systemic limitations in education, healthcare, employment, and even places of worship. One powerful symbol of this oppression is the clay drinking pot — used by Dalits and then smashed after each use to reinforce their perceived untouchability.

It was this symbol that first inspired the creation of Dalit Goods.

Every Dalit Goods product sold helps fund Life Association’s schools and children’s homes, offering Dalit children access to education, safety, and opportunity — a future free from discrimination.

What began with a single handcrafted candle made by Dalit artisans in Mumbai has grown into a collection of products supporting livelihoods across India — from soaps in Kerala to hand-painted décor from Kashmir.

By supporting Dalit Goods, you are helping to champion the rights and well-being of India’s Dalit community — while enjoying beautifully crafted, ethically made products.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.
