Sandalwood, also known in Sanskrit as Chandana, is a high quality aromatic tree that retains its fragrance for decades. Wood is used to create statues and sandalwood oil is extracted for therapeutic use: it stimulates mental clarity and induces relaxation, acts as a natural astringent, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and expectorant. It is believed that the scent of sandalwood has the power to transform one's desires and maintain one's alertness during meditation.

Shiva is part of the three deities, also known as the "Hindu triad" or the "Great Trinity". This concept derives from the Hindu tradition and explains the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance and destruction. These three functions are embodied by Brahma, the Creator, Vishnu, the Preserver, and Shiva, the Destroyer or Transformer.
