A traditional 108-bead meditation mala strung with smooth round wood beads and finished with a carved guru bead and a red cord tassel. Three inlaid counter beads, set with turquoise and coral fragments in metal rings, break up the strand like small mandalas. Slide the beads one at a time through the fingers to count mantras or breaths in daily practice.

Meaning & Intention

The 108-bead mala is one of the oldest tools in meditation practice, its count regarded as sacred across Buddhist and Hindu traditions. Each bead marks a single repetition of a mantra or breath, letting hand and mind move together.

Three inlaid counter beads divide the strand into segments of 27, echoing the mandalas of Himalayan art. Turquoise has long been valued in Nepal and Tibet as a stone of protection, while coral has been associated with vitality and grounding.

At the guru bead, the red tassel marks the point of origin. Reaching it signals a pause before beginning the next round with fresh intention.

Questions & Guidance

Why 108 beads?

108 is a sacred count in Buddhist and Hindu practice. A full round holds a complete cycle of mantras or breaths, so there is no need to keep count in your head.

How do the counter beads work?

The three larger inlaid beads mark off segments of 27, letting you track your progress through longer rounds without losing your place.

Can I wear it as jewelry?

Its length allows it to be worn wrapped as a bracelet or as a long necklace, though it is designed primarily as a meditation tool.

How do I begin a practice with it?

Hold the guru bead, set your intention or mantra, then move one bead at a time between thumb and finger with each repetition. Pause at the guru bead before starting a new round.

This is a high-quality mala necklace. The sandalwood is naturally fragrant, but it's not too strong -- you can only smell it when it's right in your face. The vibrant red thread also looks premium and tightly woven around the guru bead, and the counter beads add a pleasant hand-crafted touch. I am very grateful to have a mala necklace that was clearly made with care and devotion. And all things considered, I think that it is pretty reasonable priced. I also appreciate the protective pouch that it comes in.

Too stiff. Hard to move beads otherwise I love the actual beads but not using due to this issue. :(

Beautiful Mala

This was a gift which was well received and the recipient immediately stated how beautiful it was. The beads are the perfect size for meditation as they are easy hold individually. Being hand made in Nepal was a bonus.

Very, very nice!!

I purchased this as my first Mala after recently attending a Chanting class. The Mala is beautiful and is constructed very well!! I love the natural wood beads and the Turquoise and Coral inlays are absolutely stunning! Don't hesitate, buy one!

The picture does not do it justice, it simply magestic.
