I’m Shrabani Pattanaik — welcome to Jeshra, our family-owned candle brand with roots in Denmark and India. This is our story.
Jesper + Shrabani = Jeshra
Our name is our family story in a single word — my name and my partner Jesper’s, joined together. Just like the two cultures behind every candle we share.
Jeshra grows out of a Danish-Indian family — two heritages, one home. Here’s what each of our roots brings to the brand.
Jesper’s homeland — and the home of calm, cosy living. Quiet evenings, soft candlelight, and time together: the Danish art of feeling at home.
My homeland — warm, vibrant, and full of craft. Skilled makers, rich traditions, and scents that feel like home: the warmth at the heart of Jeshra.
We source sustainable, eco-friendly products from India — including our candles, made from 100% natural soy wax with a burn time of 35–40 hours (28–30 for our Jasmine tin).
