Free shipping across India. Dispatched within 24–48 hours of batch energisation.
Description
The mala you notice from across a room. Big-bead rudraksha strung kanthi style with red felt spacers — the format sadhus and akhara traditions have worn for generations, and the one that actually looks like something when worn over a kurta.
- Large natural rudraksha beads with red felt spacers and a hand-tied tassel
- Kanthi length — sits high at the throat rather than hanging like a japa mala
- Lab-tested at an independent laboratory — scan the QR on your box to see your batch's report
- Energised through Vedic ritual before dispatch (ceremony video included via QR)
Details
Big-bead rudraksha, each face and mukhi clearly defined, separated by traditional red felt washers that keep the beads from grinding against one another. Strung as a kanthi rather than a 108-bead japa mala, so it is worn rather than counted on.
How to Wear
First wearing: Monday morning after bath, or on a Shivratri. Wear at throat level, over or under clothing. Oil the beads lightly twice a year with mustard or olive oil to keep them from drying. Remove while bathing.
Certification — Tested Before It Ships
Every KaalVeda batch is sample-tested for material identification at an independent testing laboratory before dispatch — gemstone and rudraksha lots go to Cambay Gemmological Lab, an ISO 9001:2015 certified gems, pearls and rudraksh testing laboratory. Your box carries a QR code that opens your batch's actual report — material identity, measurement, weight and batch number. If a batch fails identification, it never ships.

Care guide
Remove while bathing and sleeping to protect the cord. Keep away from perfume, chemicals and prolonged water.
Cleanse monthly under moonlight or on a selenite surface, and wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Rudraksha benefits from a light oiling twice a year.

Good to know
Questions, answered
How many beads does it have?
108 + 1 — the traditional count, with a guru bead to mark the round. Malas are hand-knotted between beads so they hang evenly and a broken cord cannot scatter the whole strand.
How do I use it for japa?
Count with the thumb and middle finger, one bead per repetition, working toward the guru bead. When you reach it, turn the mala and come back the other way rather than crossing over it.
Can I wear it as well as count on it?
Yes. Most people wear theirs at chest level and use the same mala for practice. Tulsi kanthi is the exception — it is traditionally worn continuously once offered before the deity.
How do I look after it?
Keep it dry — rudraksha, karungali, tulsi, haldi and lotus-seed malas are all organic and will swell or darken with soaking. Store it in the cloth pouch provided, and oil rudraksha lightly twice a year.
