Candle art is a niche venture, but it is gaining recognition through social media. Recently, we came across a video showing a food-themed candle creation that impressed many users. The inspiration for the candle was none other than Mumbai's famous street food, vada pav. In the reel by 'house of drip._', we see the artist colouring a block of candle wax to resemble a vada pav. It already has an outer shape similar to this famous desi sandwich. She paints the middle part a yellowish-orange shade to make it look like a batata vada. She adds a long wick that goes through the shape in the middle. She brushes the topmost part with a golden brown colour to represent fresh pav. She also adds green pigments in the crevices between the 'vada' and the 'pav'. This represents the hari chutney.

That's not all. She also cuts and adds what seems to be orangish wax into small pieces. This is meant to indicate the popular dry garlic chutney that garnishes vada pav. Finally, she places two such candles on a sheet of newspaper and lights one of them. Watch the full viral video below:
