The photographs on this site are not yet our own. While we shoot our own beads and our own valley, we are using openly licensed photographs so the site can be built and reviewed properly. They show real Rudraksha, real Nepali hills and real practice — but they are not pictures of the beads we sell.
Every individual bead page will carry its own photographs, its own X-ray and its own certificate before we take orders. Until then, nothing here is presented as a picture of stock.
All images below are used under Creative Commons licences that permit commercial use. Each is credited to its photographer with a link to the original.
