Chandan, or sandalwood, has been used since time immemorial in our puja rituals, festivals, and social customs. Chandan powder is mainly used in our religious ceremonies as a holy offering to the deities and to adorn them with a 'tilak'. It is worn as a tilak or tika on our foreheads or between eyebrows for its cooling effects on one s mind and body. Om Shanthi Pure Chandan Powder is tested in state-of-the-art laboratories and is certified safe on the skin. Om Shanthi Pure Chandan Powder has a subtle fragrance and cooling qualities that help devotees concentrate during prayer and meditation, besides promoting tranquility.
