About this piece
A kada is a bracelet worn on the wrist. This one is an open cuff with the Shani (Saturn) mantra engraved in raised Sanskrit lettering and twisted rope-like borders on both edges. The seller lists it in a silver, brass and copper finish.
The seller says the central panel is smooth and polished so the lettering stands out, and that the open cuff adjusts for regular wear. In the photos the panel looks copper-toned rather than silver. It suits someone who wants a mantra bracelet.
How it is used
A mantra kada is worn on the wrist, and the planet's mantra is often read or recited from it. Saturday is the weekday traditionally linked with Shani.
Looking after it
- Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
