Rahu in the tradition
Rahu is the north node of the Moon and the second shadow planet: ambition, obsession, confusion and things that arrive from outside the expected. It is usually something people want steadied.
Its bead is the 8 Mukhi, presided over by Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. That pairing is consistent across the sources we have read, and it makes the 8 Mukhi one of the clearer single-planet choices in the whole range.

Common questions
Which Rudraksha is worn for Rahu?
Traditionally 8 Mukhi. Which one suits you depends on your chart and on what you intend the bead for, so treat this as a starting point rather than a prescription.
Which mantra is chanted with these beads?
Each bead has its own beej mantra. 8 Mukhi: Om Hum Namah. It is traditionally chanted when the bead is first worn.
Do I need my birth chart before choosing?
Not necessarily. Many people choose by intention rather than by planet. If you do want the astrological route, an astrologer working from your own chart will give you a better answer than a category page can.
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.
