Rudraksha Necklaces

Which Rudraksha mala should you choose?

• For counting a full round of japa: explore the 108-bead 5 Mukhi Rudraksha Jaap Mala. Choose the bead-size option on its product page.
• For a shorter pendant necklace: compare the 54-bead OM Shiva Trishool necklace. Its listed beads are 5 Mukhi Rudraksha of Indonesian origin, with gold-plated and silver-plated options.
• For two bead materials: compare the mixed Rudraksha–Karungali necklace in 54, 72 and 108-bead options, or the 108+1 mixed mala. These strands combine wood and Rudraksha beads.
• For a necklace and bracelet together: view the Rudraksha–Karungali necklace with Karungali bracelet. Compare the selected count, cap finish, included pieces and price with the necklace-only option.
• For sterling-silver details: explore the 925 silver Karungali and Rudraksha design. This is a separate material choice from plated or silver-coloured caps.

Rudraksha mala buying questions

Is 5 Mukhi the same as a 54- or 108-bead mala?

No. Mukhi describes the faces on an individual Rudraksha bead. The number 54 or 108 describes the bead count of the finished strand. A mala can therefore contain 108 beads that are each 5 Mukhi.

How should I compare size and fit?

Bead diameter in millimetres describes each bead, not the necklace length. Check the selected size, total length, pendant dimensions and construction on the exact listing. If the measurement you need is missing or unclear, ask our team for that design's measurement before ordering.

Are all capped Rudraksha malas made with silver?

No. Silver-coloured finish, silver plating and 925 sterling silver are different descriptions. Read the cap, wire and pendant materials separately; a bead certificate does not establish metal purity.

Can I buy one Rudraksha bead instead?

Yes. Visit single Rudraksha beads by mukhi to compare one bead with a ready-to-wear necklace. The product page states its origin and whether a cap, thread or chain is included.
