Rudraksha is a sacred seed that is highly revered in Hinduism and other spiritual traditions. It is the seed of the fruit from the Rudraksha tree (Elaeocarpus ganitrus), which is found mainly in the Himalayan region, Indonesia, and parts of Southeast Asia. The word "Rudraksha" itself is derived from two Sanskrit words: "Rudra," a name for Lord Shiva, and "Aksha," meaning eye.

There are various types of Rudraksha, categorized by the number of mukhis or faces they have, ranging from 1 to 21. Each type has its own unique benefits and spiritual significance.

Choosing the right Rudraksha depends on your personal needs and spiritual goals. Each mukhi Rudraksha has specific benefits, such as improving health, enhancing meditation, or fostering success. Consult our detailed guide or reach out to us for personalized advice.

Rudraksha can be worn as a necklace, bracelet, or pendant. It's best to keep it close to the skin. To condition new Rudraksha beads, immerse them in ghee (clarified butter) for 24 hours and then soak them in full-fat milk for an additional 24 hours. Wash it with water and wipe the beads with a clean cloth. Do not wash them with soap or any cleaning material. Due to this conditioning, the color of the Rudraksha may be altered and it is perfectly normal as these are natural beads. It is also normal that some color of the thread may also come out during the conditioning. Conditioning should be done every six months.

Yes, Rudraksha can be worn by anyone regardless of age, gender, or religious background. It is believed to bring peace, clarity, and protection to the wearer.

It is recommended to remove your Rudraksha during sleep, while bathing, or when visiting funerals. Additionally, it's advised to not let the Rudraksha come into contact with metal, as it can affect its energy.
