the sandalwood ("chandan" in hindi) is used in worships and religious occasions from ancient times. Most commonly it is used as a paste. The paste is obtained by rubbing a piece of sandalwood on a round granite slab and slowly adding water to it. This special purpose slab is called "chanouta" in hindi. The paste thus obtained is used by devotees themselves and offered to gods during worship. Devotees apply it on the forehead and the earlobes (in shape according to their sects). For example "vaishnavas" (devotees of vishnu) make a trident like shape on the forehead while "shaivas" (devotees of shiva) make three parallel lines. Same is with gods vishnu and shiva. Almost all gods like sandalwood due to its aroma which is considered divine. It is said to be helpful during the meditation  and enhance concentration. Thus brings closer to divinity. 

temples manage to get enough sandalwood for their dailyuses such as making sandal pastes etc. If they do not get it from the forest . the sandal paste is the main sacred 'prasadam' at many kerala templesand the demand for sandalwood for this purpose has been increasing ..an ancient buddhist scripture states: "none but the mali mountains contain sandalwood.

there is a story related to god krishna and his likeness for "chandan" in the holy hindu book "srimadbhagawat purana" written by maharishi ved vyas. Krishna is invited to mathura by his wicked uncle king "kansa". Krishna and his elder brother balarama were walking on the street of mathura when they saw a woman with hump on her back coming with a "thal"(plate) of sandalwood paste. She could not walk erect and people called her "kubdi". But krishna addressed her as "sundari" (beautiful woman) and asked to her where was she going. She answered that the "chandan" was for king "kansa" and she was going to his palace as a daily routine. But she was so impressed by the two brothers that she expressed her wish to apply sandalwood paste to foreheads of them. They happily agreed. She fulfilled her wish and asked krishna why had he called her "sundari" (beautiful woman) while she was bent and could not walk erect. Everybody called her as "kubdi". Krishna laughed and said that she was really beautiful - thus saying he pressed her feet with his feet and holding her shoulder with one hand gave her chin an upward jolt with his other hand. And a miracle happened ! her hump was gone and she was erect. She was overwhelmed with joy and thanked krishna. 

one of the oldest incense materials, sandalwood has been in use for at least 4,000 years. It is one of the most calming incenses and therefore is one of the preferred ones for meditation. It calms the mind, enhances mental clarity, and aids in the opening of the third eye. The aroma increases devotion and combined properly can help transmute energy for those who are practicing celibacy. Many ancient temples and accessories such as rosaries and staffs are made from this wood.
if you've read the many statements about sandalwood, you are familiar with the general opinion that sandalwood, other than mysore sandalwood, is generally considered "inferior." this is a somewhat deceiving statement. Several woods and oils are sold as sandalwood which are entirely different species altogether.
the sandal tree does very well on its own, and seems to appear in places it was never seen before. However all attempts by man to proliferate and increase the growth of the species have yielded declining plant populations. It appears very resistant to manipulation!
many people feel that no essential oil produced from any sandalwood tree (even mysore) has the same psychotropic, emotional, spiritual, or medicinal benefits that we find in the wood powder or incense burning that is centuries old. Ayurvedic healers either used powdered sandalwood or the burning of sandalwood in their ancient practice. Essential oils and attars may have also been used in indian medicine, but were popularized in the west by the perfume industry and so became applied medicinally in the western world after the 1920's by french aromatherapists.
