How do I know this rudraksha is real and not a fake?

A genuine rudraksha has mukhi lines that run unbroken from the top hole to the bottom hole. They are never perfectly even, never moulded-looking, and the surface between them is uneven the way a seed is. Every bead we stock is checked by hand against exactly that before it is allowed into inventory.We will also tell you what does not prove anything, because you will see these tests online: a real bead does not reliably sink in water, it does not have to spin between two coins, and heating it proves nothing except that you have damaged it. Anyone selling on those tests is guessing.If the bead that reaches you does not match what this page described, send us your unboxing video within 24 hours of delivery and we will replace it free of cost.

Is this Nepali or Indonesian rudraksha, and does it matter?

Both are genuine Elaeocarpus ganitrus. Neither is fake.Nepali beads are larger, heavier and have deeper, more clearly separated mukhi lines, which is why they cost more. Indonesian beads, often called Java, are smaller and much more affordable, and are the sensible choice for a mala where you need 108 matched beads.We name the origin on every product page. If a seller will not tell you which one you are buying, that is the thing to worry about, not the origin itself.

Which mukhi should I wear?

As a general guide: 5 mukhi is the everyday bead most people start with and the one traditionally considered suitable for anyone. 4 mukhi is associated with study, focus and clear speech. 6 mukhi with confidence and expression. 7 mukhi with Lakshmi and steady finances. Ganesh mukhi with clearing obstacles before something new.You do not need to get this perfect. If you would rather have it matched to your chart than to a general rule, book a free consultation and we will look at it with you before you spend anything.

Has it been energised, and do I need to do anything myself?

Yes. Pran pratishtha is performed with the mantra for that specific mukhi before your bead is packed, on your bead rather than in bulk beforehand.You do not have to perform any ritual yourself. If you would like to, the traditional practice is to wear it for the first time on a Monday morning after a bath, chanting the bead's mantra 9 or 11 times. Simple instructions come in the box.

How do I wear it and look after it?

Wear it against the skin. Take it off before swimming, before a heavy soap or shampoo wash, and before applying perfume or chemicals directly on it.Every few weeks, wipe it and put a drop of mustard or olive oil on the beads. Rudraksha darkens with wear and with your own skin oils. That is the bead ageing normally, not a defect, and older beads are usually prized for it.

When will it reach me, and can I pay on delivery?

Orders are dispatched within 24 to 48 hours. Most metro addresses receive delivery in 3 to 4 days, and the rest of India in 5 to 7 days.Cash on Delivery is available across India. Paying online at checkout is faster to dispatch and carries a saving, but COD is always there if you would rather see it first.

What if something is wrong with my parcel?

Rudraksha is a sacred item tied to the person it is sent to, so we do not take returns or give refunds. What we do promise: if it arrives damaged, if something is missing, or if we sent the wrong item, we replace it free of cost.Tell us within 24 hours of delivery on WhatsApp +91 76075 37725 with a single continuous unboxing video — that video is how we settle the claim with the courier, and it is the fastest route to a replacement. Size not right? You can swap it for a ₹149 replacement fee; check the size guide before ordering.
