The Word
Named after the material
मोम is the Hindi word for wax. It is the material that takes any shape a hand gives it, holds a fragrance for months, and then gives itself up, slowly, to make light. Most candle brands are named after light, or luxury, or a founder. Maumm is named after the craft itself.
Say it aloud and you hear the second meaning — the one we never had to invent. Every Maumm piece is sculpted by one pair of hands: Mom’s. The laddoos, the roses, the vark laid on one gossamer sheet at a time — all of it comes from her worktable in New Delhi.
So the name is true twice. मोम, the wax. Mom, the maker. A candle sculpted by a mother’s hands, made to be given with the same warmth.
