Hand-knotted rudraksha mala (⌀ 5 mm)

Tibetan prayer chain with 108 selected small rudraksha seeds (⌀ 5 mm) on a yellow thread; a hand-knotted knot is attached between all the rudraksha seeds to make counting easier. The mala has a circumference of approx. 65 cm. It is made for us in a traditional workshop in Nepal. We deliver the mala in a fine silk brocade bag, which we select individually to match the color.

Rudraksha are seeds that are extracted from the fruit of the rudraksha tree (Elaeocarpus ganitrus) and play an important spiritual role in Hinduism and Buddhism. The name "Rudraksha" is made up of the Sanskrit words Rudra (a name of the god Shiva) and Aksha (tear), which makes them "Shiva's tears".
