Purchased in India. A red religious rosary made with rudraksha beads. It is meant to be tied around the wrist. Rudraksha bracelets used in Indian temples are made from the seeds of the Bodhi tree (rudraksha), also known as the tears of Shiva. They are worn as powerful purification tools, for mental stability, and as amulets for warding off evil and bringing good luck. Despite their simple appearance, they are also popular as everyday accessories and are used in meditation. They have a sacred origin, particularly as the crystallized tears shed by Shiva during meditation, and are believed to be effective in purifying negative energy and eliminating negative thoughts. Simply wearing it is said to purify the mind and body, stabilize the mental state, remove negative thoughts, ward off evil and negative energy, and bring good luck. - Color: Red - Materials: Rudraksha, beads, thread - Style: Religious rosary - Decoration: Metal parts Thank you for viewing.
