Lord Murugan Collection: Vel Pendants, Karungali Malas and Kadas

Vel pendants, Karungali malas and kadas

Many pieces here pair a Murugan pendant with Karungali (ebony) beads. You will see Vel, Shastra, Shakti, peacock and Murugan face designs. Some malas combine Karungali with Rudraksha.

Wrist pieces include the Murugan Vel Kada and bracelets with silver-capped Karungali. Combos pair a pendant with a bracelet. For more pendants, see our Murugan pendants collection.

Each product page lists the necklace length and the bead details.

Karungali and silver-capped finishes

Karungali is ebony wood, a familiar devotional bead in South India. Rudraksha Karungali malais combine both kinds of bead. Explore more in our Karungali collection and Karungali malai designs.

Several designs are described as silver-capped or silver-plated, and one malai is strung on copper wire. Treat these as finish and construction notes. Compare the material description of each exact design before you choose.

The Vel and the peacock in Hindu tradition

In Hindu tradition, the Vel is the spear of Lord Murugan, said to be given by Goddess Parvati. The peacock is his mount and appears in pendants and in a standing idol here.

Murugan is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Devotees remember him on festivals such as Thaipusam and Kanda Sashti. Many people keep a Vel or idol in the puja room. Explore the Lord Shiv collection as well.

How to choose and care for Murugan pieces

• For a mala, check the bead count and the necklace length.
• For a kada or bracelet, check the fit on the product page.
• For a display piece, check the base dimensions.
• Compare silver-capped, silver-plated and other named finishes through the material description.

Keep wooden beads away from water and store them in a clean pouch when you are not using them.
