Contact SupplierA cotton wick is a fundamental component of candles, oil lamps, and traditional "diyas," or oil lamps used in religious ceremonies. Made primarily from braided or twisted cotton fibers, its main function is to draw liquid fuel (like melted wax or oil) up to the flame through a process called capillary action.In many cultures, particularly in India, cotton wicks hold deep symbolic meaning.When lit in a "diya," the flame is seen as a representation of knowledge over ignorance and light over darkness.The act of lighting the wick is a central part of religious rituals and festivals like Diwali.The shape of the wick can also hold meaning, with round wicks symbolizing peace and long wicks representing progress.
