About this piece
A three mukhi rudraksha has three natural faces. The seller lists this one as a Nepali bead of about 13 to 14 mm and says it is lab tested and certified, with a certificate linked from the product page.
The photos show a small, dark brown bead. One shows it in a hand, which gives a sense of how small it is.
How it is used
Rudraksha beads are traditionally strung on a cord or set in a pendant, or kept on a home altar. The seller lists the traditional mantra Om Kleem Namah for this bead. The Shiva Purana (Vidyeshvara Samhita 25, verse 67) names no deity for the three-faced bead; the Devi Bhagavata likens it to Agni, the fire. Astrologers today pair this bead with Mars (Mangal); the pairing is a later convention, not a statement of the Purana, and it is the one this site uses in its rudraksha guide and free kundali.
Looking after it
- If the surface looks chalky, the seller suggests working in a drop of mustard or olive oil with your fingertips and wiping off the excess.
