These mala beads are hand-made in India from natural rosewood. Each set contains the traditional 108 beads, plus the meru (or master) bead. You can use your mala for mantra japa practice (to count the repetitions of a mantra) or you may choose to wear yours so you can absorb its healing vibrations.
Drawstring cloth bags are also available separately to keep your mala safe when not in use.
