Tradition and meaning

In tradition the 9 mukhi is associated with Ketu and Goddess Durga, and with courage and devotion to the Devi. Rudraksha beads are the dried seeds of the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree, which grows in the Himalayan foothills and parts of Southeast Asia. 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.
