Rudraksha beads are formed naturally inside the fruit of the Rudraksha tree. Each bead has natural vertical grooves known as Mukhi, which determine its spiritual and astrological properties. Revered as the tears of Lord Shiva, Rudraksha has been worn for centuries by sages, monks, and devotees to aid meditation, improve focus, and protect against negative energies. Unlike mineral gemstones, Rudraksha is an organic sacred bead whose value lies in authenticity, Mukhi count, origin, and condition.
