Introduction to Rudraksha
Rudraksha beads are sacred seeds from the Rudraksha tree (Elaeocarpus ganitrus), revered in Hindu and Buddhist traditions for their spiritual and healing properties. Each Rudraksha bead is characterized by the number of natural divisions or 'Mukhis' (faces) on its surface, ranging from 1 to 21 Mukhi, with each type offering unique benefits and governed by different deities and planets.
