Mala Counter - Mala Counter with Vajra and Ghanta

A distinctive mala counter featuring two brown cords, each strung with ten polished metal rings. The ends are marked by a vajra and a ghanta, the handle of which also ends in a half-vajra. These two counters are used to keep track of the number of mantra recitations: one strand counts the full rounds of the mala, the other counts in increments of ten. The vajra (Tib. dorje) and the ghanta (Tib. drilbu) are inseparable in Tibetan Buddhism. The vajra represents the method—that is, compassion—while the bell represents wisdom, which recognizes emptiness. Together, they symbolize their inseparable unity. The cord loop is attached between two beads on the main strand of the mala.

Length per strand: 8.5 cm · Bead diameter: approx. 7 mm · Silver-plated metal, cord · Handcrafted in Nepal
