How do I know this Rudraksha is natural?

If certified authenticity is important to you, our Nepali collector-grade beads come with a lab certificate and X-ray report.

What's the difference between Nepali and Java Rudraksha?
Nepali Rudraksha beads are generally larger, with deeper natural surface lines, and are priced higher. Java (Indonesian) Rudraksha beads are typically smaller and smoother, and more affordably priced — both are natural, unprocessed beads. This particular piece is Java Rudraksha.

How is this mala (strand) worn or used?
It is typically worn as a mala around the neck for daily prayer and meditation.

What size is this bead, and does size matter?
Bead size varies by piece — check the size or variant option listed for this specific product. Size affects appearance and price more than significance — mukhi count and origin are what traditionally determine its association.

How should I care for a Rudraksha bead?
Keep it dry, avoid harsh soaps or chemicals, and wipe gently with a soft cloth. Remove before swimming or bathing with strong products.

Are there traditional guidelines for wearing Rudraksha?
Many people choose to wear Rudraksha after a bath, often starting on a Monday — this is a matter of personal or family tradition rather than a strict rule.

What's included with my purchase?
