Rudraksha 9-Mukhi Mala (⌀ 9 mm) "9 Faces"

Tibetan prayer necklace with 108 selected Rudraksha seeds with four black cords. The mala has a circumference of approx. 72 cm, the beads have a diameter of 9 mm. It is made for us in a traditional workshop in Nepal. We deliver the mala in an elegant 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".

A 9-Mukhi Rudraksha has nine natural lines ("mukhi") running from the base to the tip. Each bead in the 9-Mukhi Mala represents the nine forms of Maa Durga, which stand for protection, power and renewal. The 9-Mukhi Mala is often used to recite mantras such as "Om Dum Durgaye Namah" or "Om Hreem Namah".
