This candlestick is called a Chanukiah or Hanukkah-menorah, used to publicize the miracle of Hanukkah, and it has no equivalent in other religions.
There are candelabras used in the festivals of other religions such as the one in Kwanzaa and the oil lamps used for Diwali. However, each of these has a different origin of use for the candelabra and a different significance attached to it. Therefore, it is not an equivalent but a parallel form.
