This one uses fine 2mm cylindrical Tulsi beads with a 6mm 5 mukhi Rudraksha, so the Rudraksha stands out at three times the bead size.

The Tulsi beads are 2mm cylindrical — the finest size we make — so the mala sits close to the neck and stays gentle and subtle through the day. The 5 mukhi Rudraksha is 6mm, three times the bead width, so it rests clearly at the centre rather than disappearing into the strand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Tulsi bead is real Braj Tulsi wood, hand-strung on strong thread in Vrindavan by local Brijwasi artisans, with the natural grain kept as it is.
