Spiritual Necklace: Rashi Pendants, Deity Pendants and Malas

Pendant and necklace types here

The collection spans several kinds of necklace.

• Rashi pendants for each of the twelve zodiac signs, such as the Aries (Mesh) Rashi Pendant and the Leo (Singh) Rashi Pendant.
• Gold-plated deity pendants with chain, including Hanuman, Maa Durga and Radha Krishna.
• Oxidized black pendants, such as the Mahadev Trishul Pendant and the Lord Rama Bow Pendant.
• Om designs, such as the Gold Plated OM Diamond Pendant Necklace.
• Bead strands, including Karungali necklaces.

How to choose a spiritual necklace

Begin with the centrepiece, then check the practical details.

• Pendant dimensions and chain length are separate measurements. Read both where they are given.
• Check whether the listing is a pendant alone or a complete necklace with chain.
• For bead strands, compare the bead count and bead size as well as the motif.
• Read the metal or finish description, such as gold plated or oxidized black.

If you are buying a gift, choose a symbol the person already prays to.

Rashi and deity pendants in tradition

Rashi is the zodiac sign in Vedic astrology. A rashi pendant carries the sign you choose, and each of the twelve signs has its own design here.

Deity pendants carry the form of the god or goddess a devotee prays to. Examples here are Lord Shiva, Hanuman, Lord Ram, Radha Krishna and Maa Durga.

Choosing by faith, family custom or an astrologer's advice is a personal decision. These meanings come from tradition, not from promised results.

Bead strands and Karungali necklaces

A bead strand can be worn like a necklace or used for japa. A traditional japa mala has 108 beads, but a shorter neck mala can have fewer.

Compare the count and size on the listing before assuming a necklace suits japa. For Karungali, explore Karungali and Karungali Malai. For Rudraksha strands, see Rudraksha necklaces or the japa mala page.

Wearing and caring for your necklace

Many devotees wear a pendant daily and take it off before a bath, a workout or sleep. Wipe the pendant and chain with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.

Keep plated and oxidized pieces away from perfume, water and cleaning products. Store each necklace on its own so chains do not tangle. Follow any care note on the product page.
