About this piece
A seven mukhi rudraksha has seven natural faces. The seller lists this one as a Nepali bead of about 18 to 20 mm and says it is lab tested and certified, with a certificate linked from the product page.
The photos show a dark brown bead on a wooden surface, and one 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 Hum Namah, and says the listed practice is 108 repetitions daily. The Shiva Purana (Vidyeshvara Samhita 25, verse 72) names Ananga, that is Kama, for the seven-faced bead. Astrologers today pair this bead with Saturn (Shani); 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
- Keep it dry and wipe with a soft dry cloth.
