1 Mukhi Rudraksha benefits

Ruled by the Sun and embodying Lord Shiva, the Ek Mukhi is believed to bring higher awareness, sharp focus, leadership and detachment from negativity, and is traditionally associated with peace of mind and the path to moksha. A true round one-faced bead is extremely rare; the half-moon (kaju-shaped) South Indian variety is more commonly available.

How to wear it

Rudraksha is worn on a red or black thread, or capped in silver or gold, first worn on a Monday morning after a bath, energised with the bija mantra “Om Hreem Namah” and “Om Namah Shivaya”. Explore certified beads in our Rudraksha collection. Always check authenticity — natural, clear mukhi lines and an X-ray report — before wearing.
