Kwanzaa Kinara Set Candle Holder Only- (Sold As Is). The Seven Candles are Sold Separately. The Candle holder (kinara) is the center of the Kwanzaa setting and represents the original stalk from which we came: our ancestry. The kinara can be shape - straight lines, semicircles, or spirals - as long as the seven candles are separate and distinct, like a candelabra. Kinaras are made from all kinds of materials, and many celebrants create their own from fallen branches, wood or other natural materials.
