Rudraksha beads, sacred to Lord Shiva, are worn for peace, protection and spiritual growth. Each 'mukhi' (face) carries a distinct energy.
Popular types
- 5 Mukhi — peace of mind, meditation (most common)
- 1 Mukhi — highest spiritual awareness (rare)
- 7 Mukhi — wealth and prosperity
- Gauri Shankar — harmony in relationships
A genuine Rudraksha sinks in water and shows natural, well-defined faces (mukhis).
