Another foreign text states that Hindu devotees worship the idols of the deities daily with five offerings, which include anointing the idol with aromatic (sandalwood) substances, waving dhoop (incense), garlands of flowers, lamps. Lighting (lamp) and offering Naivedya is included.

Yellow sandalwood is generally used by those who believe in Vaishnavism and blood sandalwood is mostly used by those who believe in Shaivism and Shaktism. The practice of using sandalwood in the funeral pyre of Hindus has been going on since ancient times. Kalidas has mentioned the use of sandalwood in the funeral pyre of Ikshvaku queen Indumati in his Sanskrit work Raghuvansh.

Kautilya in his Arthashastra mentions many varieties of sandalwood from different places, including sandalwood of different colors like red, black-red, white-red, black, green and saffron.
