About this piece
A four mukhi rudraksha has four natural faces. The seller lists this one as a Nepali bead of about 18 to 19 mm and says it is lab tested and certified, with a certificate linked from the product page.
The photos show a dark brown bead with four clear lines. One shows it in a hand for scale.
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 Hreem Namah for this bead. The Shiva Purana (Vidyeshvara Samhita 25, verse 68) calls the four-faced bead Brahma himself. Astrologers today pair this bead with Mercury (Budh); 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
- The seller advises putting the bead on after perfume, hair oil or deodorant has dried.
