It is about 32–36 inches long and wraps twice around the neck as a snug choker. It is available in bead sizes from 1mm to 6mm, in round or cylindrical shapes. Devotees of Shri Krishna and Shri Vishnu wear it as a deeper mark of bhakti. Handmade in Vrindavan from 100% natural Braj Tulsi wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #3d2817; border-bottom: 2px solid #D2551E; padding-bottom: 6px; margin: 28px 0 12px;\"\u003eAbout This 2 Round Tulsi Kanthi Mala\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kanthi is a two-layered Tulsi wood necklace. It is about 32 to 36 inches long (depending on the bead size you choose), so it wraps twice around the neck and sits close, like a double-strand choker. The full, double look makes it a stronger, more visible sign that you belong to Shri Hari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Vaishnav tradition, the two-round kanthi is often chosen by intermediate devotees — those settled in their bhakti who want Tulsi ji a little closer through the day. Every bead is real Tulsi wood from Braj, hand-strung on strong thread in Vrindavan by local Brijwasi artisans, keeping the natural grain as it is. It is a Vaishnav necklace made for devotion, not for fashion.
