Mālā (Japamālā) Buddhist rosary with 108 Grains of 8 mm. in Ritu or Raktu seeds and red threads

An authentic and powerful tool for prayer, meditation, and mindfulness: the 108-bead Buddhist mala (japamala) in Ritu or Raktu seeds. Strictly handmade in Nepal, this traditional rosary is expertly strung and knotted, enhanced with red thread accents and tassels—a color that in Tibetan tradition symbolizes life force, energetic protection, and deep compassion.

Symbolism of Raktu Seeds and the 108 Beads: Raktu seeds, known for their warm earthy tones and unique organic texture, have long been used in Himalayan Buddhism for grounding practices, deep concentration, and dispelling negative energies. The number 108 is highly sacred in Eastern traditions, representing the 108 human defilements or worldly desires that one must overcome to achieve enlightenment (Nirvana). With a total length of 80 cm, perfectly sized 8 mm beads that glide smoothly through the fingers, and a feather-light weight of 32 grams, this mala can be comfortably worn as a daily necklace or wrapped around the wrist during chanting and yoga.
