Our Story
Every candle we make at The Rookh begins with a spark of memory. The soft winds of Kumaun, the smell of pine after rain, and the warmth of sitting with family under the stars. We wanted to bottle that feeling into light — and so our journey began.

Where it all began
The Rookh was born in the Kumaun hills of Uttarakhand. Growing up, the mountains weren’t just a place — they were home. The fragrance of oak moss, the warmth of wood fires, and the chatter of village fairs shaped our childhood. Years later, when life felt too fast and busy, we looked back to the hills for comfort. That’s when we decided to create candles that carried this simple, soulful life into homes everywhere.
The journey so far
Inspired by Nature
Each fragrance is drawn from the hills — wild lavender, fresh cedarwood, mountain musk. Every candle is a piece of Kumaun’s landscape.
Made by Hand
We pour our candles in small batches, one by one. Nothing rushed, nothing mass-made. Just patience, care, and craft.
Carrying Culture Forward
Candles are more than light — they’re tradition. For us, it’s a way of keeping Kumaun’s heritage alive, sharing its stories through scent and glow.
What we believe in
Simplicity
We believe in doing things slowly and meaningfully. Each candle is crafted with honesty, without shortcuts.
Sustainability
We use clean-burning wax, lead-free wicks, and reusable jars because nature gives us inspiration — and it’s our duty to give back.
Connection
A candle is more than fragrance — it’s a way of connecting with yourself, your loved ones, and the memories that matter most.
At The Rookh, our candles are more than decor. They are quiet reminders of home, of belonging, and of simple joys. Wherever you are, may our light carry a little bit of Kumaun to you.
