Black/Brown Tulsi Kanthi Mala / Japa Mala

A black tulsi mala or brown tulsi kanthi offers the same original tulsi wood devotees cherish, in deeper, richer shades. The colour comes from the traditional ghee dip method, in which tulsi beads are treated with ghee so they take on a warm brown or deep black tone that grows lovelier with daily wear. Every piece is handmade in Vrindavan, the holy land of Braj, where tulsi is worn as the mark of a devotee.

Should I choose black or brown tulsi beads?

Ghee dip black beads give the boldest look and hide daily wear well, which makes styles like the 24 inch round black beads tulsi mala with 15mm beads a striking choice. Brown beads sit between natural cream and black, offering a gentle, earthy tone seen in the 3 round brown tulsi kanthi and the 2 round round-bead brown kanthi. Both pair beautifully with everyday clothing while remaining pure tulsi through and through.

Are there naam and locket designs in darker shades?

Yes. If you want the holy name with you, choose the black or dark brown Radha name handcrafted tulsi beads kanthi. Devotees of Lord Narasimha can pick the Nrsimhadeva face locket black kanthi, and there is even a prasadi tulsi kanthi with brown Radha beads for those seeking prasadi tulsi.
