Tradition and meaning
In tradition the 12 mukhi is associated with Surya (Sun) and the twelve Adityas, and with leadership, radiance and vitality of purpose. The name comes from Rudra (Shiva) and aksha (eye); in Shaiva tradition the beads are sacred to Lord Shiva and worn for prayer and japa. A mukhi is one of the natural lines that run from the top to the bottom of the bead; a 5 mukhi bead has five, a 6 mukhi has six, and so on. Nepal beads are traditionally revered for larger size and deeper grooves. These are traditional and devotional associations, not promises of any result.

Care
Keep rudraksha dry and away from soap, perfume and chemicals. Use a little natural oil now and then, and keep it in a soft pouch between wears.
Gifting
Rudraksha is a respectful gift for birthdays, festivals such as Maha Shivratri, and new beginnings, especially for someone with a prayer or japa routine.
Rudraksha is a natural seed, so size, shade and surface texture vary from bead to bead and the photos are a representative example. For questions about a specific bead, ask before ordering and we will help.
