8 Mukhi Rudraksha
Traditionally associated with Lord Ganesha. Eight natural lines from top to bottom.
How to recognise a 8 Mukhi bead
Count the deep natural lines that run from the top of the bead to the bottom. A 8 Mukhi bead has 8 of them. Ignore shallow surface cracks that stop part way.
Size, colour and shape vary from bead to bead. None of these change the mukhi.
Wearing and care
A bead is usually worn on a red or black thread, or capped in silver or gold, so that it touches the skin. Keep it dry, away from soap and perfume, and oil it lightly with pure ghee or sandalwood oil once a month.

About this bead
A Rudraksha is the seed of the fruit of the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree. The natural lines running from top to bottom divide its surface into faces, called mukhi. The number of mukhis decides what a bead is called, from one to many.
Our larger beads, often the size of a marble or more, come from our family's own Rudraksha trees, which have stood for around two hundred years. Smaller beads come from growers we know in Nepal.
Each bead is natural, so size, colour and shape vary from bead to bead. Every bead is chosen by hand and presented in a wooden box.
What you receive
- One natural Rudraksha bead of the mukhi you choose

Care
Keep the bead dry and away from soap and perfume. Once a month, clean it gently with a soft brush and apply a drop of pure ghee or sandalwood oil, then wipe off the excess.
