Mala Beads
Mala Beads
Commonly used in Dharmic religions such as Buddhism to recite and count a mantra.
Full size Mala have 108 beads, whilst smaller hand held or mini pocket versions have a number that is a factor of 108 such as 27, 54 or 9 for our finger versions.
The extra bead at the base is known as the Guru bead which is not included in the count and may be a similar bead to keep the Mala uniform or a Stainless Steel Buddha bead.
The 108 bead Malas may be worn as a necklace or our elasticized version allows you to wrap around your wrist as a bracelet
