♦ With our Sandanam Paste, a revered sacred recipe recognized for its purity and heavenly aroma throughout the generations, you can immerse yourself in the old essence of tradition. In daily worship, temple ceremonies, and spiritual practices, sandalwood paste (also known as chandanam paste or chandan paste) is an essential element.

♦ Origins & History:

Hindu texts and historical records show that chandanam was used during the Vedic era. For centuries, sandalwood has been associated with holiness, cooling, and heavenly purity. The paste, which has been used in temples and households for more than 2,000 years, is traditionally derived from the heartwood of the Santalum album tree.

♦ Chandanam paste is highly valued in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and throughout South India, where it holds a prominent position in everyday pujas, temple rituals, and important Hindu festivals. Fresh sandalwood paste is used in Shaivite and Vaishnavite traditions, notably in temples such as Tirupati, Srirangam, and Chidambaram, for decorating deities.

♦ Usage & Applications:

Use directly on the forehead (tilak), on statues of gods, or in abhishekam ceremonies. This sandalwood paste can be used in ceremonies honoring gods such as Lord Vishnu, Shiva, Lakshmi, and Murugan, as well as festivals such as Varalakshmi Vratham, Navaratri, Vinayaka Chaturthi, and Maha Shivaratri. Its cooling qualities also make it perfect for temple ceremonies in the summer.

♦ Preservation & Storage:

Keep in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight, to extend freshness. Use an airtight container to keep it securely shut at all times. Prevent moisture penetration for a longer shelf life and unblemished scent.

♦ According to Puranic legends, Lord Rama and Lord Krishna both used chandanam. It represents the moon (coolness and serenity) embellishing His jata (locks) in Shiva temples. According to Vaishnavite belief, chandan paste cools the divine body of Lord Vishnu. Additionally, it's thought to purify the aura and keep bad vibes at bay.
