Choosing a piece beyond the occasion

Think about how you will use the piece after the festival, too. A counting mala suits japa, while a capped necklace or a bracelet suits daily wear.

Compare a counting mala’s bead count with a necklace’s length. In a set, check the bracelet sizing separately. Use each product’s exact material and finish information when you compare similar designs. Open each page to confirm the bead count, cap material and sizes listed.

Mala for japa, sets and children’s bracelets

Many devotees chant Om Namah Shivaya on a mala through the night of Mahashivratri. A 108-bead mala is the usual count for japa.

The 108-bead malai and bracelet combo and the 54-bead silver cap malai and bracelet combo pair a mala with a bracelet. Check what each combination includes.

Kids’ bracelets are listed too, such as the Karungali malai bracelet (Kids). Choose them by their own sizing information.

About the name of this edit
