    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.
