Sandalwood is renowned for its characteristic aromatic fragrance and significant medicinal properties. Its beneficial attributes include antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory properties, anti-proliferative effects, and antimicrobial properties. These qualities make sandalwood highly valued in various applications. Sandalwood oil is a major biproduct of sandal wood that known with the name - 'Liquid Gold' which alone is enough to captivate people with its high value. In Kerala, natural sandalwood forests are limited to Marayoor and Wayanad, but the superior quality of sandalwood produced here has attracted people for centuries. The Sandalwood Factory, operated by the Forest Department, draws numerous visitors annually. Less rainfall is suitable for the growth of the finest sandalwood trees, from which superior quality oil is extracted. 

The fragrance of sandalwood is more than just a pleasant aroma; it embodies nature, rich medicinal properties, and cultural significance. It is deeply connected to the traditional rituals of Kerala, where sandal paste is widely used. Applying sandal paste on the forehead is a conventional practice in Kerala, carrying medicinal and spiritual values. It serves as a natural coolant, dissipating heat and enhancing beauty when used on the skin. This practice reflects the deep-rooted cultural and spiritual traditions of Kerala, highlighting the multifaceted significance of sandalwood.  

When paired with the alluring aroma and unique rejuvenating properties of sandalwood oil, it becomes irresistible. This oil is highly sought after and widely used in the global fragrance industry with a high demand worldwide.
