Indian sandalwood is perhaps the most expensive wood on the planet, due to its cosmetic and therapeutic value. There is a huge international demand for this wood, with its fragrant heartwood priced at over 100€/kilo. This tree grows very well in South India, especially in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and needs very little water.

Looking after your mala:

• Please do not wash your mala or wear it while bathing or sleeping, as this can weaken the mala’s thread.
• To clean your mala: gently wipe the beads with a damp cloth and place in moonlight or sunlight to dry.
• When not in use, store your mala in a Mala Bag.
