Chandan (sandalwood) is known for its characteristic pleasantly sweet fragrance and cooling properties when applied on forehead. This is why Sandalwood powder is an integral part of Hindu worship, which is applied on forehead and behind ears after worship and auspicious occasions. Kashi Ashtagandha is made from eight fragrant herbs and is used as holy fragrance at various auspicious occasions, as tilak on forehead, bathing of deity idols, yantras etc. Ashtgandha fragrance is associated with purity, tranquility and inner peace.
