This sacred mala is hand-knotted in Rishikesh, the spiritual gateway to the Himalayas in India, and carries a blessing from the holy waters of the Ganges River. Made from smooth rosewood beads, its warm reddish-brown tones embody grounding, protection, and compassion. In Indian tradition, rosewood (often called red sandalwood) is valued for calming the mind, opening the heart, and deepening meditation. Its subtle earthy energy encourages patience, strength, and a gentle connection to the divine.
Designed for mantra japa, this mala consists of 108 beads plus a guru bead. To use, hold the mala in your right hand, passing each bead between your thumb and middle finger as you repeat your chosen mantra. Begin at the guru bead and move bead by bead until you complete all 108 repetitions, allowing the rhythm to guide your breath and focus.
Whether worn as a necklace, wrapped around the wrist, or used in meditation, with its size and timeless design, this mala is suitable for both men and women.
This rosewood mala carries the grounding warmth of sacred wood, the spiritual energy of Rishikesh, and the purifying blessing of the Ganges—supporting your path with devotion, clarity, and peace.
