What You Receive

• One natural Nepali 8 Mukhi Rudraksha in the size you select, on red thread

Why We Sell Only Nepali 8 Mukhi

Our relationships with the same farming families in Nepal go back nine years. Every bead is X-ray tested and certified by RKRTL, and every silver cap is fitted by hand in our own workshop. Nepali 8 Mukhi beads are larger and have deeper, clearer lines than the smaller Indonesian variety, which is why the tradition prefers them for wearing singly. We stock no other origin for this mukhi.

RKRTL Authentication

Every 8 Mukhi sold here is examined by RKRTL before listing:

• Three-view X-ray imaging (raw, edge-enhanced, inverse) confirms eight internal chambers matching the eight external lines, ruling out added, erased, filled or hollow beads, and simple miscounting (an 8 sold as a 9, or a 7 as an 8).
• Microscopic verification of each line from mouth to tail, separating natural lines from carved ones and natural holes from insect damage.
• Density check, recorded on the certificate as Verified.
• Three-axis measurement (length, width, depth) rather than a single number.
• Species confirmed as Elaeocarpus ganitrus.

How to Wear an 8 Mukhi Rudraksha

• Day to begin: Wednesday, or a Saturday for the Rahu connection.
• Thread or metal: red thread, or silver capping on a chain, worn at the chest.
• First wear: hold the bead, set your intention, and recite the beej mantra 108 times.
• Daily: wear consistently, especially before difficult decisions or through an unsettled period.
• Care: wipe with a soft dry cloth; rinse gently with lukewarm water once a month; keep away from perfume and chemicals; oil lightly every few months so the bead does not dry out.

Silver Capping, Done in Our Own Workshop

Capping is fitted by hand at RudraKailash, not outsourced. The cap protects the mouth of the bead and gives a secure loop for a chain without touching the lines. It is fitted after certification, so the certificate shows the bead exactly as it was tested. Choose "with silver capping" at checkout.
