Why We Sell Only Nepali Gauri Shankar
Our Rudraksha comes from the Arun Valley in Nepal, through a supplier relationship of nine years that began long before this website. Nepali Gauri Shankar beads are large, with deep, clear lines on both halves, so each line can be counted and checked by eye. We stock no other origin for this bead.
A natural Gauri Shankar is rare, so only a few are available at a time. Each one is listed as an individual bead with its own photos and certificate.
RKRTL Lab Certification
Every single bead is tested by RKRTL (Kailasha Rudraksha Testing Laboratory) before it is listed, not a sample from a batch:
-
Three-view X-ray (raw, edge-enhanced, inverse) confirms the two halves grew joined, with no glue or filler at the join, and counts the internal chambers in each half. Two separate beads stuck together is the most common Gauri Shankar fraud.
-
Microscopic check of the join and of each line from mouth to tail, separating natural lines from carved ones.
-
Insect and mould screening before certification. Any bead showing either is rejected.
-
Precise weight, measured on a precision lab scale and recorded on the certificate.
-
Density check, recorded on the certificate.
-
Three-axis measurement (length, width, depth), so the record captures the bead's real shape.
You don't have to take our word for it: enter the certificate ID at rkrtl.com/verify, or scan its QR code, to see your bead's own X-ray images and results.

How to Wear a Gauri Shankar Rudraksha
-
Day to begin: Monday, the day of Lord Shiva and the Moon.
-
Thread or metal: red thread, or silver capping on a chain, worn at the chest. Many families keep it in the puja room instead.
-
First wear: hold the bead, set your intention and recite Om Gauri Shankaraya Namah 108 times.
-
Care: wipe with a soft dry cloth; rinse briefly under cool water if needed and dry at once. Do not soak it in ghee, milk or oil, which darkens the bead early and can cause odour.
Silver Capping
Silver capping costs ₹700 and is fitted by hand at RudraKailash, not outsourced. A Gauri Shankar takes four caps, one at each end of both halves, so capping costs more than on a single bead. The caps protect the bead and give a secure loop for a chain without covering the lines. They are fitted after certification, so the certificate shows the bead exactly as it was tested.
