The Buzz Nepal
November 12 , 2025

The buzz begins at home — meet the brands who keep it real, raw, and Nepali.

Ablaze Luxe Candle
Founded by Kathmandu-based artist Riya Ghimire, Ablaze Luxe Candle began as a personal passion for art and creativity before blossoming into a thriving brand. What started as a small experiment – fueled by four years of unseen dedication and persistence has now transformed into Ablaze, a name that symbolizes fierce burning.
In a country where candles were once viewed merely as a source of light during power cuts, Ablaze set out to change that perception. Today, the brand redefines candles as objects of artistry, healing, calm, and mindful living. Beyond offering hand-poured, artful creations, Ablaze Luxe Candle also hosts weekly workshops in Sadobato Khumaltar, inviting people to pause, slow down, and find comfort away from the fast pace of daily life.
