92.5 Silver Kanthi Mala Collection – Original Tulsi Kanthi with Silver Kavach | Handmade in Vrindavan

A silver kavach paired with original tulsi kanthi is the piece devotees choose when a mala is meant to last and to be worn every day. Each kavach in this collection is 92.5 sterling silver and filled with Braj Raj — the sacred dust of Vrindavan — then strung onto tulsi beads handmade by Brajwasi artisans. The range covers 18, 20 and 48 inch lengths, single through three rounds, and both barik and ghee-dipped brown and black beads, from ₹1,295 to ₹2,650.

What is a silver kavach and what is kept inside it?

A kavach is a small silver capsule worn on the mala. In this collection each one is 92.5 sterling silver and filled with Braj Raj — dust from Vrindavan dham — so that the devotee carries a little of Braj with them. It is a traditional devotional practice, and we make no protective or astrological claims beyond describing what the kavach is and what it holds.

Which length and how many rounds should I choose?

An 18 inch single round sits close at the base of the neck and is the most common choice for daily wear under clothing. A 20 inch gives a little more room. Two and three round malas wrap the neck more fully and are the traditional look for committed devotees, while the 48 inch three-round black bead mala is long enough to loop several times. All are strung on original tulsi wood.

Is the silver genuinely 92.5 sterling?

Yes — the kavach is 92.5 sterling silver, which is the standard used for silver jewellery in India, and we state that plainly rather than describing plated work as silver. The tulsi beads are original tulsi wood grown around Vrindavan and strung by Brajwasi artisans. Orders over ₹800 ship free across India, which covers every mala in this collection.
