TULSI LOCKET PANCH MALA

This collection brings together two beloved forms of Vrindavan mala — the tulsi locket mala and the layered panch mala. A tulsi locket mala carries a handcarved tulsi locket of your ishta — Shri Radha, Radha-Krishna Jugal Jodi, Shri Ram, Sitaram or Hanuman ji — on strands of original tulsi beads, so the Lord's form or naam rests directly over the heart.

How do I choose between a locket mala and a panch mala?

A panch mala with locket, with its layered strands, gives the full, festive look loved for Janmashtami, Radhashtami and temple visits, while a single-strand locket mala suits quieter everyday wear. Many devotees keep one of each — the everyday tulsi locket mala for home and work, and the panch mala reserved for utsav days and yatra to the dham.

Which beads and lengths carry the locket best?

Start with the deity you hold dearest, then choose plain round or big beads for a clean traditional look, or naam beads with Radha's name handcarved on each bead, turning the whole mala into a remembrance of the holy name. Lengths run around 22 to 24 inches, letting the locket sit gracefully below the throat.
