Original Tulsi Kanthi Mala Vrindavan Tulsi Mala

A tulsi kanthi mala is the sacred bead necklace worn close to the throat by devotees of Shri Radha-Krishna and Shri Ram — a quiet, constant mark of bhakti. Every kanthi in this collection is handmade by Brajwasi artisans in Vrindavan from pure, original tulsi wood.

How do I choose between 1 round and 2 round kanthi?

A 1 round kanthi of around 18 inches sits neatly at the neck and is the most comfortable choice for daily wear. A 2 round (do lad) kanthi, usually strung at about 32 inches, wraps twice for a fuller, more traditional Braj look. Many devotees begin with a single round and add a 2 round mala for festivals and satsang.

Which bead size and finish should I pick?

Barik (fine) beads feel almost weightless through a full day of work and japa — ideal if you keep your kanthi on at all times. Long beads and round beads give the bold, classic style seen across Vrindavan. For finish, choose natural cream tulsi or ghee-dip beads with a deep black tone that grows richer with wear.
