Antique Enlightened Dark Bodhi Mala

This one-of-a-kind traditional antique bodhi seed mala was purchased directly from Kathmandu, Nepal.  These 108 dark wood bodhi seeds are truly stunning.  Simply strung and finished with a guru bead on yellow cord.  Mala comes with a beautiful embroidered silk mala bag.

Bodhi seed beads can be used for counting all types of mantras as well as other prayers.  These dark-speckled seed beads have special meaning for all seekers of divine wisdom.  "Bodhi" in Sanskrit means enlightenment; as an "enlightened" seed, many practitioners use these malas for their essence and inherent teachings within each seed.

Mala measures approximately 54 inches around.  Bodhi beads are about 12-15mm.  Guru bead is 16mm.
