Sandalwood

Your visit to the Sandalwood City, Mysore, will be incomplete unless you buy at least one sandalwood product. There is only one place in Mysore where you can buy authentic sandalwood products, and that is Cauvery Emporium. It’s run by the government and prices are fixed. The moment you enter the emporium, you will be greeted with the pleasant fragrance of sandalwood. There is a range of sandalwood products that you can buy here, such as sandalwood oil, billet (raw piece), idols and figurines of animals etc. Sandalwood is very precious and hence, even if a tree grows in someone’s personal land, it’s owned and regulated by the government.
