Literally the “Eyes of Rudra,” these textured, dark red sacred seeds are said to be formed from Lord Shiva’s tears. Large beads range from 8-10mm, medium 6-8 mm, and small 4-6 mm.
These malas are now handmade by Vallabhdas here in California, with 108 (+1 guru) genuine Rudraksha seeds, knotted and tasseled with premier quality, long staple, highly mercerized Egyptian cotton.
