What shape are the beads on this japa mala?
The beads are carved in a mridanga shape, inspired by the drum played in kirtan, and strung as a full 108+1 japa mala. Made from original tulsi, the tapered bead form feels distinctive between the fingers during naam japa.
Is this mridanga bead mala good for daily japa?
Yes, the 108+1 count lets you complete full traditional rounds, and the mridanga-shaped beads glide smoothly as you count. It suits daily japa at home or in the temple, and its unique shape makes it a lovely mala to gift as well.
Are these mridanga beads genuine tulsi wood?
Yes, each mridanga-shaped bead is carved from original tulsi wood by artisans in Vrindavan. Keep the mala in a japa bag when not in use, keep it dry, and avoid perfume so the hand-carved shapes stay crisp and smooth.
