Bodhi seed mala with large silver bead and tassel

A powerful prayer bead strand made of 108 dark Bodhi seeds with a warm, deepened, silky-glossy surface—each seed displays its own unique pattern of fine lines and small indentations. The mala is finished with a large, hand-engraved silver guru bead featuring Tibetan floral and vine motifs, crafted for Atelier Tibet in a Nepalese silver workshop using traditional methods; the tassel below is available in various colors.

The name “Bodhi” comes from Sanskrit and refers to awakening and comprehensive understanding—according to tradition, Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under a Bodhi tree, which is why it is considered sacred in Buddhism.

The mala is hand-knotted at Atelier Tibet and comes in a silk brocade pouch, which we select to match the color.
