Chandan, also known as Sandalwood, is considered to be of the padma (lotus) group, associated with the qualities of Amitabha Buddha, which are compassion, devotion, and love. Chandan's scent is believed to purify desires and maintain a person's alertness while in meditation. Chandan is also one of the more popular scents used when offering incense. Sandalwood smells somewhat like other wood scents, except it has a bright and fresh edge with few natural analogues. Its sedative property clears stress from the nervous system.
Called Chandana, Rakta or Raktachandana, Red Sandalwood is a traditional Indian incense and dye wood used for ritual, meditation, candlemaking and cloth dyeing. In Hindu marriages, it is burned on a sacred fire within the marriage tent so that the fumes surround the bridal pair. The sandal tree, botanically known as Santalum Album, belongs to the family Santalaceae. The sandal tree grows almost exclusively in the forests of Karnataka, followed by Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and the Timor Islands of Indonesia.
Because of chandan's (sandalwood's) enrichment of the Padma (Lotus) Buddha wisdom
qualities, it is the most frequently used scent for Bhakti (devotion) practices, since sandalwood or chandan is a tonic to the heart, evocative of calm love and devotion.
According to traditional Ayurvedic sources, Chandan dispels nervousness, cooling, clears
depression, relaxes headache, lessens insomnia, reduces stomach pains, helps urinary
