About this piece
A kada is a bracelet worn on the wrist. This one is an open cuff of brass with a broad silver-tone panel, twisted copper-toned borders and a mantra for Brihaspati, the planet Jupiter, engraved in Sanskrit script.
The seller says the open design makes it adjustable and comfortable for daily wear, and that the twisted borders add to its durability. The photos show the inside of the cuff in plain brass. It suits someone who wants a mantra bracelet in a simple metal finish.
How it is used
A mantra kada is worn on the wrist, and the planet's mantra is often read or recited from it. Thursday is the weekday traditionally linked with Brihaspati.
Looking after it
- Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
- Brass darkens over time and can be polished gently.
