[[File:Aquilaria malaccensis - Agar Wood, Eaglewood - Indian Aloewood at Munnar (3).jpg|thumb|right|''Agaru'', ''Aquilaria agallocha'']]
'''Ksharaka''', Agar wood is an evergreen tree growing grows up to 49 metres tall, though it is usually rather smaller at around 20 metres. The bole can be up to 60cm in diameter. The aromatic resin obtained from this tree is one of the most famous and most expensive on the planet. It has a very long history of use in religious ceremonies, at funerals etc in the Orient and is widely sought after as an ingredient in perfumery. Commonly harvested from the wild, trials are being carried out into growing it in plantations.
