Everything about Gauri Shankar
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.
Practical
Wearing and care
- How it is strung
- On red thread by default, or capped in silver on request. Tell us at checkout which you want.
- Keeping it well
- Rudraksha is a seed. Keep it dry, oil it with mustard or olive oil once or twice a year, and take it off before swimming. It will darken with wear, which is normal and not a defect.
- Shipping and duties
- Sent insured from Nepal. Import duty is charged by your own country and is not included in the price above — we will show the estimate for your destination at checkout rather than surprising you later.
The individual beads in this size
Each row is one physical bead with its own measurements and X-ray. Pick the one you want — that is the bead we ship.
Questions about this size
What size is Medium Gauri Shankar?
Our Medium band is 21–24 mm. Grade names differ between sellers, so compare the millimetres rather than the word — every individual bead below lists its own exact measurement.
Is Medium grade worth the extra over a smaller bead?
Size does not change the traditional attribution of the bead. Larger beads are rarer, more symmetrical and priced accordingly, so it is a question of what you want to wear and what you want to spend, not of one bead being more genuine than another.
Will I receive the exact bead in the photographs?
Yes, if you choose one of the individual beads listed below. Each has its own measurements, X-ray and collection record, and that specific bead is what ships.
