Your customer is not looking at moisture. They are looking at air — and six lines of copy on the product page decide whether they ever think otherwise.

Candle Business Guides · Clear Glass
Two problems are hiding inside this one question: how to reduce the gaps, and how to stop a customer who sees one from concluding your candle has leaked. The second is solved for ₹0 with six lines of copy, and it is the one costing you money today.
6
lines on the product page that pre-empt the oil-or-moisture reading, written once and used across every clear-glass SKU · against ₹398.44 of materials for every candle you have to ship twice · CSI live pricing, September 2026
Quick answers — read this first
Is my candle actually leaking? No. A wet spot is an air gap where the wax contracted away from the glass as it set. The surface is dry, nothing moves when you tip the jar, and the weight does not change. Confirm it yourself before you reply to anyone — then say so plainly.Why do customers read it as oil? Because they are looking through clear glass at an interface, and a gap behind glass looks exactly like a smear on glass. Nothing about the appearance distinguishes air from moisture to an untrained eye, so the conclusion is reasonable. Pre-empting it is your job, not theirs.
What stops it fastest? Copy, not chemistry. One short paragraph on the product page naming the look, explaining it is air, and stating that it does not affect the burn turns a complaint into a sign of craft. Then work the process levers underneath it.
What does getting this wrong cost? On a 150 g candle in a premium clear jar, materials are ₹199.22. Ship a replacement and that one sale has consumed ₹398.44 — before any freight. Six lines of copy cost nothing.
The short answer
Name it before the customer does: a product page that says "you may see light patches where the wax has drawn away from the glass; this is air, not moisture, and it does not affect how the candle burns" ends the conversation before it starts.
Then reduce it with the free levers: clean, dry, room-warm glass handled by the rim; a pour temperature inside the window your wax page states; cooling away from draughts, evenly spaced; and a fragrance load no higher than the candle needs.
And accept the trade you have chosen: clear glass is a design decision that puts the material on display. If the look cannot be tolerated at all, the honest fix is a frosted, matte or coloured vessel — not a stricter promise about a transparent one.

Only the top row is a sale. The other three are the same candle costing more, and the difference between them is almost never the candle — it is whether the buyer had the word "air" before they had the thought "leak". Six lines of copy move sales from the bottom three rows to the top one at no material cost.

Straight answer
How do I stop customers reading wall gaps as oil or moisture in a premium clear-glass candle?
Separate the two jobs, because they have very different prices. The perception job costs nothing and you can finish it this evening: write six lines into every clear-glass product page — name the look, say it is air and not moisture, confirm it does not affect the burn, explain that it comes from soy contracting as it sets, state that clear glass is a deliberate choice that shows the material, and tell the customer what to do if they are still unhappy. A buyer who reads that before they unwrap the candle sees craft; a buyer who meets the patch cold sees a leak. The prevention job is a process ladder, and nothing in it is free of effort even where it is free of cost: clean, dry, room-warm glass handled by the rim; a pour inside the temperature window your wax page states; cooling evenly spaced away from draughts; and a fragrance load no higher than the candle needs. Only after those are documented does a vessel change or a wax change belong in the conversation. The money makes the order obvious. A 150 g candle in a Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid — 138 g of Natural Soy Pearl Wax, 12 g of British Rose Fragrance Oil, one Eco Candle Wick and the ₹94.40 jar — carries ₹199.22 of materials. Ship a replacement and that single sale has eaten ₹398.44, plus freight twice. Six lines of copy cost ₹0 and work on every SKU you will ever list. Write them first.
One line: the customer is not seeing moisture, they are seeing air — and the cheapest way to prevent the misreading is to put the word "air" on the page before they put the word "leak" in a message.
Premium clear glass is a real product decision and CSI lists it at both ends. Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid at ₹944 for 10, described as premium thick-walled clear glass with a stated 150 g fill and a hot-pour limit of 85°C, or Clear Glass Votive Jars at ₹159.30 for 5 at ₹31.86 each for samples and sets.

What the customer is actually seeing
They are not wrong about what they see. They are wrong about what it is — and that gap is yours to close, not theirs.
Start by taking the customer's side, because it makes the fix obvious. Through clear glass a buyer is looking at an interface, not at wax. Where wax is bonded to the glass, light crosses a single boundary. Where the wax has drawn back and left air, light crosses two and reflects at each, so that patch separates from its surroundings and reads as a shadow, a bloom or a smear depending on the light in their living room. Nothing in that appearance tells an untrained eye whether it is air behind the glass or something wet on it. Given no other information, "oil" or "damp" is a sensible guess.
So the three conclusions you are competing with are specific, and each one has a different consequence for you. Knowing which conclusion a customer reached tells you what to say.
The three wrong readings · and what each one costs you
What the customer concludes, what it means to them, and the line that pre-empts it
| What they conclude | What it means to them | What they do | The line that pre-empts it |
|---|---|---|---|
| "The fragrance oil has separated" | The candle is badly made and probably will not smell | Message you, or quietly never reorder | "Any light patches you see are air, not oil. Separated oil would feel wet on the surface — this does not." |
| "Water has got in" or "it is damp" | The candle is spoiled and perhaps unsafe to light | Ask for a replacement before lighting it | "There is no liquid in the jar. The surface is dry and the weight does not change." |
| "This is cheap workmanship" | The price is not justified; the brand is overselling | Leave a review, downgrade the gift, tell a friend | "Soy contracts as it sets, and in clear glass that movement is visible. It is a property of the material, not a shortcut." |
| "It will not burn properly" | Performance anxiety, usually before first lighting | Email to ask whether it is safe | "It does not affect how the candle burns or how it smells." |
| "The jar is dirty" | Hygiene concern, especially on a gift | Try to clean the outside of the glass | "You cannot wipe it away — it sits between the wax and the glass, inside the jar." |
The mistake: explaining it only after someone complains. By the time a customer has written to you, three things have already happened — they have formed a conclusion, they have felt let down by something they paid a premium for, and in a good proportion of cases they have mentioned it to whoever they bought it with. A reply can recover the sale; it cannot recover the first impression. The same words cost nothing on the product page and everything in an inbox. If you sell wholesale, this applies twice over: a stockist who does not know what the patch is will take it off the shelf and never tell you why. The mechanism to quote is in dark patches with no liquid inside the jar.
The six lines, written out
Here they are, in the order they should appear. Each one does a specific job, and the order matters: name the thing before you explain it, explain it before you defend it, and defend it before you offer a remedy. Together they run to about a hundred words and they belong on the product page itself — not in an FAQ, not in a policy document, and not on a card inside the box where the customer finds them after they have already drawn a conclusion.
1
Name the appearance in the customer's own wordsWrite it as the thing they will see, not as a technical term. "You may see light or shadowed patches where the wax has drawn away from the glass." Using their vocabulary does two things: it tells them you already know, and it makes the page findable when they search the phrase that is in their head. Do not lead with "wet spots" — the phrase imports the very conclusion you are trying to prevent.
2
Say what it is, in one clause: air, not moisture"These patches are air, not oil or moisture." This is the whole page in six words and it is the line people remember. Add the falsifiable test if you have room, because it converts a claim into something the customer can check: the surface is dry to the touch, nothing moves when the jar is tipped, and the candle weighs the same next month as it does today.
3
State the performance consequence plainly: none"They do not affect how the candle burns, how long it lasts or how it smells." Say it as a flat statement rather than a hedge, because the honest position is flat — a gap against the wall is not in the path the candle burns along. Keep your safety checks separate and keep doing them: cracked glass, a wick touching the wall, a wick that soots, and a jar too hot to hold are real faults and those candles should never have shipped. That list is in cosmetic or safety.
4
Give the one-sentence cause, without inventing numbers"Soy wax takes up slightly less space as it solidifies, and it keeps responding to temperature afterwards, so it can draw back from the glass in places." Stop there. Do not quote a contraction percentage, a rate or a temperature threshold — no wax page publishes any of those and a number you cannot source is the one thing in this paragraph a sceptical customer can catch you on.
5
Own clear glass as a choice, not an accident"We use clear glass because we want you to see the wax. A frosted or coloured jar would hide this entirely; it would also hide the material you are paying for." This reframes the patch from a defect into a consequence of transparency, and it is true — the same candle in a Clear Frosted Glass Jar shows almost nothing, as the optics post explains. Only write this line if you mean it; if clear glass is just what you had in stock, change the vessel instead.
6
Close the loop with a remedy you can actually honour"If a candle arrives in a condition you are not happy with, message us." Nothing more elaborate — do not promise replacement for cosmetic variation in writing unless you have costed it, because at ₹199.22 of materials per candle a blanket promise is expensive and it also tells readers the patch is a defect after all. An open line to a human is both cheaper and more reassuring than a policy.
Put the same six lines in three places, with one addition
On the product page, in the order-confirmation email, and on a small card in the box — because a gift recipient never reads the product page. The card gets one extra sentence the page does not need: "If this was a gift, the patches are normal and nothing is wrong with your candle." Gift recipients are the group most likely to conclude something is wrong and least likely to ask, and a stockist's customer is in exactly the same position. One card, printed once, in every clear-glass box.Prevention in a premium clear jar
Copy handles perception. Reducing the gaps themselves is a separate, slower job, and the levers are the same ones available to everybody — they just matter more when your whole proposition is transparency. The table below is ordered by what it costs you, and the honest caveat sits on every row: these are candidate causes to test one at a time in your own workshop, not settled mechanisms with published effect sizes.
Prevention ladder for a clear-glass SKU · one variable per round
What to try, what it costs, and what to watch for
| Lever | Material cost | What you actually do | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Handle glass by the rim, pour into clean dry jars | ₹0 | A written cleaning step, and nobody touching the inside wall after it | A changed cleaning product is itself a variable — see invisible residue |
| Bring jars to room temperature before pouring | ₹0 | Unpack glass the day before rather than pouring into jars straight off a cold floor | In winter this is the single most likely free win; test it paired |
| Pour inside the window your wax page states | ₹0 | A three-step ladder across the stated range, judged on wall and top | Hotter can help the wall and hurt the top — the trade-off |
| Standardise cooling: spacing, surface, no draught | ₹0 | Fixed layout, off cold stone or metal, away from an AC vent or fan | Outer jars in a tray behave differently from inner ones |
| Preheat the glass | ₹0 in material, real in labour | Warm jars gently and consistently before the pour | Only adopt it if a paired test shows it works — test it first |
| Lower the fragrance load | Saves money | Drop a point or two and re-cure the full period | Re-smell before committing. Throw is why they bought it |
| Dye last, or not at all in clear glass | ₹0 | Decide colour after the base recipe is locked | A dark candle in clear glass shows everything — the black candle case |
| Change the vessel | Jar price difference | Frosted, matte or coloured glass at the same size | Contradicts line 5 of your copy. Choose one position and hold it |
| Change the wax | Highest — a full qualification round | Candidates poured in the jar you actually sell | Resets the wick, load, pour window and cure — priced here |
One thing a premium clear jar gives you that a cheap one does not is published information, and it is worth using. The Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid page states a 150 g fill capacity, a height of 8 cm, an outer diameter of 7 cm, a base diameter of approximately 6.5 cm and a hot-pour limit of 85°C, and describes the glass as premium thick-walled. The Apothecary Glass Candle Jar with Dome Lid states a fill capacity of about 500–700 g, a 10 cm outer rim and base, and the same 85°C limit. Those are the only two CSI jars that describe their glass as thick-walled, and no CSI jar page states a glass thickness in millimetres or an empty-jar weight — so if you want to reason about how your glass behaves at pour, you will be measuring it yourself. That gap is the subject of a thick luxury jar against a thin test jar.
Do not try to hide a gap with a bigger label. It works for exactly one batch and then it costs you twice. An opaque wrap on a jar you sell as "clear glass so you can see the wax" is a contradiction a customer will notice, and the label itself becomes a running cost on every unit for ever. Worse, it removes the feedback that tells you whether your process is drifting — you stop seeing your own rate. If the look genuinely cannot be shown, the honest move is a frosted or matte vessel, priced openly, not a clear jar wearing a disguise. The upside of the opposite decision — minimalist packaging becoming possible once the look is acceptable — is quantified in clear minimalist packaging.
What one misread candle costs
Here is the arithmetic behind the diagram, so you can put your own prices into it. The candle is a 150 g finished candle at an 8% load — 138 g of wax and 12 g of oil — in CSI's premium clear 150 g jar, which is one of the few jar pages that states its fill in grams rather than millilitres, so no weighing assumption is needed.

Worked out above: Natural Soy Pearl Wax ₹450 ÷ 1,000 g = ₹0.45/g × 138 g = ₹62.10 (at 10 kg and 50 kg pricing, ₹424.80/kg, it is ₹58.62) · British Rose ₹3,068 ÷ 1,000 g = ₹3.068/g × 12 g = ₹36.82 (at 500 gm pricing, ₹3.186/g, it is ₹38.23) · Eco Candle Wicks Thin (C1) ₹590 ÷ 100 = ₹5.90 · Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid ₹944 ÷ 10 = ₹94.40. Total ₹199.22; a replacement makes one sale cost ₹398.44. Freight is left out because CSI publishes no courier rates and yours are your carrier's.
The jar is 47% of the materials in that candle, which is the real economics of a premium clear-glass line and worth saying out loud: your most expensive component is also the one that displays every imperfection in the cheapest one. That is not an argument against clear glass — it is an argument for spending your effort on perception and process rather than on replacing the wax underneath it. On a hundred candles the materials come to ₹19,922, and a single-digit replacement rate on a misunderstanding costs more than any free lever on the ladder above.
The premium clear-glass basket
Three products, chosen for a clear-glass line specifically: a jar whose page actually publishes its dimensions and hot-pour limit, a wax that scales further than any other in the range, and a small clear votive for the samples that do more customer education than any paragraph.
1
Vessel · the premium clear jar with published numbers
Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid (150 gram)
The clear jar to build a premium SKU around, mostly because of what its page tells you. It states a 150 g fill capacity in grams rather than millilitres, a height of 8 cm, an outer diameter of 7 cm and a base diameter of about 6.5 cm, a hot-pour limit of 85°C, and describes the glass as premium thick-walled with a vintage apothecary silhouette. Only one other CSI jar — the Apothecary with the dome lid — carries the thick-walled description. One CSI customer, Soumili Gope, records simply that "the jars were of good quality". No jar page states a glass thickness in millimetres, so if wall thickness matters to your pour you will be measuring it.
| Size | Price | Per piece | 150g candles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | ₹944 | ₹94.40 | ≈10 |
| Pack of 20 | ₹1,888 | ₹94.40 | ≈20 |

Wax · the only CSI wax listed at 50 kg
Natural Soy Pearl Wax
Included for a reason that has nothing to do with appearance: it is the one CSI wax whose listed pack ladder reaches 50 kg at ₹21,240, and the per-kilo price steps down from ₹450 at 1 kg to ₹424.80 from 10 kg upward. Be clear-eyed about the trade. Its page is silent on fragrance load, silent on temperatures, silent on appearance and silent on glass adhesion — it says only that it suits a variety of container types and candle designs. A silent page means every one of those answers has to come from your own pour, which is fine for a brand that is going to run a pilot anyway and wrong for one that wants numbers to follow. The ≈ column counts 150 g candles at 138 g of wax each.
| Size | Price | Per kg | 150g candles @ 8% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | ₹450 | ₹450 | ≈7 |

Vessel · the sample that teaches better than copy
Clear Glass Votive Jar 70 gram
The most underrated customer-education tool in a clear-glass range. A small clear votive sent with a first wholesale order, or sold as a sample, lets a stockist or a new customer meet the material — including any patchiness — before they have committed to a full-price candle, which converts a possible complaint into a conversation you are present for. Its page states a capacity of about 70 g of wax fill, in grams, and states no dimensions, so measure the diameter yourself before you size a wick. At ₹31.86 a jar this is the cheapest clear glass in the range in pack form.
| Size | Price | Per piece | 70g sample candles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 5 | ₹159.30 | ₹31.86 | ≈5 |
| Pack of 10 | ₹318.60 | ₹31.86 | ≈10 |
₹31.86 per votive jar at both listed pack sizes Buy clear votive jars
The CSI principle
In clear glass you are not selling a candle. You are selling a view of one — so describe the view before somebody else interprets it.
Transparency is a promise that the customer can see the material, and a material that moves is going to show that it moved. A brand that explains this reads as expert. A brand that says nothing and then apologises reads as caught out. The words are the same either way; only the timing changes, and the timing is free.

When someone has already asked
The copy is prevention. This is triage, and the structure matters more than the wording: confirm, explain, reassure, offer. Four beats, short, no defensiveness, and no technical lecture — a customer who asked a one-line question does not want four paragraphs of crystallography.
The four-beat reply
What to say, why that beat exists, and what to avoid saying
| Beat | Say something like | Why | Do not say |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Confirm | "I know exactly the patches you mean — thank you for the photo." | Agreeing on the observation removes the fight before it starts | "Are you sure?" or "That's unusual" |
| 2 · Explain | "That is air, not oil or moisture. Soy shrinks a little as it sets and pulls back from the glass in places." | Gives them the correct noun. Everything else follows from it | Any percentage, rate or temperature figure you cannot source |
| 3 · Reassure | "It does not affect the burn, the scent or how long it lasts. Light it exactly as normal." | Most people who write in are asking permission to use it | "It's purely cosmetic" as the first thing — it sounds dismissive |
| 4 · Offer | "If you would still rather have a different one, tell me and I will sort it." | Costs you ₹199.22 at worst and keeps the customer. Most decline | A policy link, a form, or anything that reads as a process |
Two refinements worth building in. First, keep one photograph of a jar with a visible gap in your reply drafts — showing a customer that you know this look well enough to have it on file does more than any sentence. Second, log the message. A spike in these questions after a quiet year is a signal about your process, not your customers, and it usually points somewhere specific: a new jar batch, a new wax lot, a colder month or a new cooling spot. Counting it properly is the method in how much variation is normal.
A customer who has been told what to expect is reading a feature. The same customer, told nothing, is reading a fault. Same candle, same glass, same patch.

Why trust this guide
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. We sell both the clear jars that show this and the frosted ones that hide it, so we have no stake in which you choose. What we do have a stake in is makers staying in business, and the fastest money a clear-glass brand can save is on replacements shipped for a misunderstanding — which costs nothing to fix and does not involve buying anything from us.
Every price, pack size and specification on this page comes from live CSI stock in September 2026 and links to the product page, where current pricing and specification always take precedence. Jar capacities, dimensions and hot-pour limits are quoted exactly as the pages state them; only two CSI jars describe their glass as thick-walled, and no CSI jar page states a glass thickness or an empty-jar weight. Wax specifications are quoted only where stated, and silent pages are named as silent — Natural Soy Pearl Wax states nothing about load, temperature, appearance or glass adhesion. No CSI page publishes a wax contraction rate, a glass-adhesion measurement or an acceptable-defect percentage, and none is stated here; the suggested copy in this guide is deliberately written without any such figure so that you can publish it without risk. Freight and courier rates are not quoted anywhere on this page because CSI publishes none.

Frequently asked questions
What do I tell a customer who thinks their candle is leaking oil?
Confirm, explain, reassure, offer — in that order and in four short sentences. "I know the patches you mean. That is air, not oil or moisture: soy shrinks slightly as it sets and draws back from the glass in places. It does not affect the burn, the scent or how long the candle lasts. If you would still rather have a different one, tell me and I will sort it." Avoid quoting any contraction percentage or temperature figure — none is published, and an unsourceable number is the one thing a sceptical buyer can catch.
Should I mention wet spots on my product page at all?
Yes, and in about a hundred words. A buyer who meets the look for the first time in their own living room reaches a conclusion without you; a buyer who read a short, confident paragraph beforehand reads the same patch as a property of the material. Name the appearance in their words, say it is air rather than moisture, state that it does not affect the burn, give the one-sentence cause, own clear glass as a choice, and close with an open line. Put the same text in the confirmation email and on a card in the box for gift recipients.
Can I prevent wet spots completely in clear glass?
Nobody can promise that, and you should not promise it either. Soy contracts as it solidifies and keeps responding to temperature afterwards, so the look can appear days or weeks after a flawless pour and after the candle has travelled. What you can do is reduce how often and how strongly it shows: clean dry room-warm glass, a pour inside the window your wax page states, standardised cooling away from draughts, a load no higher than needed, and dye decided last. Then set a tolerance and photograph it.
Does a thicker premium jar reduce wet spots?
There is no published basis for saying so either way. Two CSI jars describe their glass as thick-walled — the Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid and the Apothecary Glass Candle Jar with Dome Lid — but no jar page states a thickness in millimetres, and thickness is only one of several things that differ between vessels. Treat it as something to test: pour the same wax into your thick and thin jars on the same day and compare. The question is taken up in thick luxury jar against thin test jar.
How much does replacing one premium candle cost me?
On a 150 g candle in CSI's premium clear 150 g jar the materials are ₹199.22 — ₹62.10 of Natural Soy Pearl Wax at 1 kg pricing, ₹36.82 of British Rose at 1 kg pricing, a ₹5.90 Eco Wick and the ₹94.40 jar. Shipping a replacement means that one sale consumed ₹398.44 of materials plus freight paid twice. On a hundred candles the materials alone are ₹19,922, so a replacement rate driven by a misunderstanding costs more than every free lever on the prevention ladder combined.
Should I switch to frosted jars so customers never see it?
It is a legitimate answer, not a cop-out — a Clear Frosted Glass Jar or White Matte Glass Jar at ₹70.80 makes the same gap nearly invisible with no reformulation risk at all. The question is whether transparency is part of what you sell. If your page says "we use clear glass so you can see the wax", switching contradicts it; if clear glass was simply what you had, switch and say nothing. What you should not do is keep clear glass and hide it behind an opaque label.

Figures verified September 2026: Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid (150 gram) — pack of 10 ₹944, pack of 20 ₹1,888, both at ₹94.40 each; its page states a 150 g fill capacity, height 8 cm, outer diameter 7 cm, base diameter approximately 6.5 cm, safe for hot pour up to 85°C, and describes premium thick-walled clear glass in a vintage apothecary design. Apothecary Glass Candle Jar with Dome Lid — 500 gm ₹212.40, 700 gm ₹250; its page states a fill capacity of approximately 500–700 g, height 13.2 cm with lid and 10.8 cm without, outer rim and base diameter approximately 10 cm, and safe for hot pour up to 85°C, with the same dimensions given for both sizes. Clear Glass Votive Jar 70 gram — pack of 5 ₹159.30, pack of 10 ₹318.60, both at ₹31.86 each; its page states a capacity of approximately 70 g wax fill and states no dimensions. Clear Frosted Glass Jar and White Matte Glass Jar — pack of 5 ₹354 and pack of 10 ₹708, both at ₹70.80 each, each stating a fill weight of 200 ml and dimensions of 8 cm height by 7 cm width. Natural Soy Pearl Wax — 1 kg ₹450 (₹0.45/g), 5 kg ₹2,124, 10 kg ₹4,248 (₹424.80/kg, ₹0.4248/g), 50 kg ₹21,240; it is the only CSI wax listed at 50 kg, and its page states nothing about fragrance load, temperature, appearance or glass adhesion beyond suiting a variety of container types and candle designs. British Rose Fragrance Oil — 15 gm ₹94.40, 50 gm ₹212.40, 100 gm ₹342.20, 500 gm ₹1,593 (₹3.186/g), 1 kg ₹3,068 (₹3.068/g); 1 kg is the largest listed fragrance pack. Eco Candle Wicks Thin (C1) — 10 ₹59, 100 ₹590 (₹5.90 each), 1,000 ₹5,900. Candle arithmetic assumes a 150 g finished candle at an 8% fragrance load — 138 g of wax plus 12 g of oil — against the jar page's stated 150 g fill capacity, which is given in grams and therefore needs no weighing assumption. Per candle: ₹62.10 wax + ₹36.82 oil + ₹5.90 wick + ₹94.40 jar = ₹199.22, of which the jar is 47%; two candles for one sale = ₹398.44; one hundred candles = ₹19,922. Load is treated as a percentage of finished candle weight. No CSI jar page states a glass thickness in millimetres or an empty-jar weight, and only two describe their glass as thick-walled. No CSI page publishes a wax contraction rate, a glass-adhesion measurement, test method or score, or an acceptable-defect percentage, and none is stated here. Freight, courier rates and delivery times are not quoted because CSI publishes none. Cure of 14–21 days for soy containers is standard practice. Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November.
