Considering a mala and bracelet set?

Choose the 108-bead Karungali mala and bracelet set if you want both pieces together, or compare the 54-bead silver-cap mala and bracelet combo for a different bead count and finish. Check the sizes and what is included on each product page.

Choose your bead size

Smaller beads give a finer look; larger beads create a more noticeable strand. Compare the listed length as well as the bead diameter before selecting your option.

Using your mala for japa

Move one bead with each mantra using your thumb. At the Guru bead, reverse direction for the next round rather than crossing it.

Care for your mala

Keep the wood away from water, perfume and harsh cleaners. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store in the mala bag.
