Sandalwood is described in the Puranas as the most cooling of all fragrances, and the mala made from it is the one traditionally given to a person whose mind runs hot: the restless, the anxious, the one who cannot sit still long enough to pray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bead is turned from genuine chandan wood and hand-capped in 999 fine silver, each one individually wire-wrapped and linked. Worn against the skin, body heat draws the fragrance out slowly — the mala grows more aromatic with years of wear, not less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTraditional significance \u0026amp; benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalms the mind:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chandan is classically held to cool agitation and settle the thoughts — the reason it is applied to the forehead before meditation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor meditation and japa:\u003c\/strong\u003e The fragrance anchors the attention, which is why sandalwood malas are favoured for long chanting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSacred to Vishnu and Shiva:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used in daily puja, abhishekam and temple ritual across every tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuspicious and purifying:\u003c\/strong\u003e Believed to carry the sattvic quality of the temple itself into the home and onto the wearer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling in Ayurveda:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandalwood is held to pacify excess heat in the body and is used for exactly that in traditional practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 999 fine silver caps, links and wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeads:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54 genuine chandan (sandalwood) beads, hand-turned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wire-wrapped, flower-cap setting on every bead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorn by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Men, women and children — worn daily, for puja, and during japa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChoose your size\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e — 54 beads, 24 inches.
