Kandeel


A wall full of colourful Kandeels (Lanterns) in South Mumbai. Kandeel is the name of a restaurant.

Linking to Monday murals

  1. Does the word 'kandeel' owe its roots to 'candle' or vice-versa?

    1. The word kandeel (also spelled kandil or qandil) has a long etymological journey across several languages, ultimately originating from the Latin word for candle.
