Khadi Batti
Every question on the site tagged Khadi Batti, each answered from a timestamped source rather than a summary written from memory.
A standing, round lamp wick — doubled by wrapping sacred thread (Kalawa) around it, and used specifically for fierce or aggressive deity worship, or when taking a vow-bound mantra observance for a specific result such as curing illness, destroying an enemy, or countering black magic. Never used for ancestor (Pitru) worship.

When should the standing wick (Khadi Batti) be used instead?
The standing wick is for two situations: worship of a fierce (Ugra) deity form, and a vow-bound ritual using an already-perfected (Siddha) mantra or hymn for a specific result. It is doubled by wrapping Kalawa around it.
