The term “Pyuthan” is believed to have originated from “Purathana” via “pray,” denoting an ancient kingdom that was ruled by the Chand dynasty. If you are working on a video about Sandalwood (Santalum Album) and are concerned about having to travel to India to capture footage of Sandalwood, don’t worry. Sandalwood is also cultivated in Kanyakumari Community Forest in Pyuthan.
