Traditional Raktu Seed Mala

• This simple prayer bead mala features 108 oiled raktu seed beads that are hand strung on durable knotting cord and finished with a bodhi guru bead.
• It is the perfect mala for meditation practice and every day wear.
• With meaning similar to the bodhi seed, many practitioners use raktu malas for their essence and inherent teachings of enlightenment within each seed.

These mala beads are great if you like a natural seed bead in a smaller size.  Seed malas are some of the most common malas used in Tibet and Nepal.  These seeds are sustainable and are harvested each year, and then drilled and made into mala beads.

Mala measures approximately 32 inches around.  Beads are 8mm.  Due to the nature of raktu seed beads, the size and circumference may vary slightly.
