Please note that you are buying a GENUINE SANDALWOOD product from the jungles of Karnataka. The trees that grow in the Mysore region of Karnataka have long been considered as the source of the best sandalwood in the world. Karnataka sandalwood was, and still is, the preferred choice for religious ritual, artistic and architectural needs of Hindu and Buddhist traditions and above all Chinese consumers, who are the force behind recent increase in prices.
Due to a spike in demand, and scarcity of raw materials, the price of authentic sandalwood has skyrocketed. This lead to an ever-evolving selection of alternatives and substitutes, which are unfortunately more often than not sold under the name of sandalwood.
We carry two such woods Nagar Chandal Sandal, and Kadam Sandal.
