FAQs

Why is kesar chandan used in rituals?

Saffron and sandalwood are both long-standing offerings in Indian temple worship, and the two together are a traditional pairing for festival and occasion pujas.

Which note leads?

Sandalwood carries the base throughout, with saffron sitting warm on top and most noticeable early in the burn.

Is this stronger than a plain sandalwood cone?

Slightly. The saffron adds a richer top note, though the overall weight is similar.
