Woodworking

The region of Mysore specialised in sandalwood carving. The sandalwood tree (Santalum album), which grows abundantly in Mysore, produces a soft wood particularly suitable for intricate carving. The rulers of Mysore were great patrons of sandalwood carving and used elaborately carved panels to decorate their palaces as well as sending examples for display at international exhibitions.
