Why a whole range
What a Siddha Mala is
Most people wear one Rudraksha, chosen for one purpose. A Siddha Mala takes the other route: it strings one bead of every mukhi in a range on a single thread, so the wearer carries every presiding deity, planet and chakra the beads are traditionally linked with. The Ganesh Rudraksha is added for a clear start, and the Gauri Shankar for harmony at home.
A Siddha Mala is only as good as its weakest bead.
A single glued, carved or mislabelled bead in the middle of a strand is easy to miss, which is why every bead in it is X-rayed like every other bead we sell.

Questions
Common questions
Not sure which strand suits you, or want a size we have not listed? Ask, and we will tell you what this season’s harvest can make.
Ask us directlyWhat is a Siddha Mala?
A Siddha Mala is a single strand holding one Rudraksha of every mukhi in a range, usually 1 to 14 Mukhi, together with a Ganesh Rudraksha and a Gauri Shankar. It is worn so that every bead’s traditional association is carried at once, rather than choosing one.
What is the difference between a Siddha Mala and a Sarva Siddha Mala?
The range. The basic Siddha Mala runs from 1 to 14 Mukhi; the Sarva Siddha Mala carries on to 21 Mukhi. The higher beads are much rarer, which is why a Sarva Siddha Mala costs many times more than a basic one.
Why is a Siddha Mala priced on request?
Because it depends on the season. Each strand is assembled from that harvest’s beads, and the higher mukhi are not available in every size every year. When we quote, we list exactly which beads are in your strand, with each one’s X-ray.
Which 1 Mukhi goes into your Siddha Mala?
The Nepali half-moon (Kaju) 1 Mukhi, which is the form that grows on our trees. A round 1 Mukhi from Nepal is a claim we would treat with suspicion, and we do not sell one.
How is a Siddha Mala worn?
Traditionally around the neck, on a day chosen with a priest or on a Monday, after the beads have been cleaned and the mantra of each, or Om Namah Shivaya for the whole strand, has been chanted. Many people keep it on a shrine and wear it for puja only.
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.
