Beads whose presiding deity is traditionally given as Lord Brahma.
Some of the beads below are grouped by an attribution that varies between traditions. Where that is the case, the bead’s own page says so.
Brahma is the creator in the Trimurti and the source of the four Vedas, often shown with four faces.
The 4 Mukhi is the bead given to him with the most agreement — four lines, four faces, four Vedas — and it is worn for learning, memory and speech. The 20 Mukhi is also given to Brahma in some sources but not in others, so it is marked as varying.
| Bead | Presiding deity | Planet | Chakra | Rarity | Worn traditionally for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Mukhi | Lord Brahma | Mercury (Budh) | Vishuddha (Throat) | Common | Memory, focus, communication, creativity, turning ideas into action |
| 20 MukhiAttributions vary | Brahma / Janardan | Moon (varies) | Sahasrara (Crown) | Exclusive | Balances material and spiritual growth, wisdom, all-round abundance |
4 Mukhi and 20 Mukhi. Attributions of this kind are recorded differently in different sources, so you may see other beads listed elsewhere.
Each bead has its own beej mantra. 4 Mukhi: Om Hreem Namah; 20 Mukhi: Om Hreem Hum Namah. It is traditionally chanted when the bead is first worn.
These are traditional associations recorded in Vedic and Puranic sources. They are described here as tradition, not as medical or therapeutic claims, and no bead is a substitute for medical care.
