Description
Lal Chandan, another name for Rakt Chandana or Red Sandalwood Powder, is taken from the heartwood of the Pterocarpus santalinus tree. Primarily, this tree is found in Southern India and is famous for being truly red and sweet smelling. Lal Chandan is preferred not only because of its smell but also for healing and beauty purposes unlike the Santalum album known as white chandan.
