Rudraksha Bracelets
Daily-wear Rudraksha bracelets from Nepal — the 5 Mukhi (universal), Rudra mixed-Mukhi, and the heavier Mahakal. Hand-strung in Kathmandu on stretch elastic that survives being worn every day, and photographed on hand before payment. Standard 16–18cm wrist; send your measurement and we will string a rudraksh bracelet to it at no extra charge.
Choosing a rudraksha bracelet you will actually keep wearing
A bracelet is the piece that gets worn every day, so the questions that matter about it are practical ones. Bead size decides the look and the weight: smaller beads sit flat under a shirt cuff, larger ones read as a statement and are heavier on the wrist by the end of a working day. Our standard strings fit a sixteen-to-eighteen-centimetre wrist, and we will restring to your measurement if you send it.
The three we keep in stock cover most of what people want. The five mukhi bracelet is the universal one — Kalagni Rudra in the tradition, suitable for any wearer, and the one to buy if this is a first rudraksh bracelet. The Rudra mix combines several mukhi counts on one string. The Mahakal is the darker, heavier piece, and it is bought by people who already know they want it.
We string on quality stretch elastic rather than thread, because a daily-wear piece takes abuse a knotted silk cord will not survive. Elastic does eventually tire; when it does, send it back and we will restring it, or any competent bead shop can. That is a maintenance note, not a defect.
Every bracelet is photographed on hand before payment — the actual beads, not a catalogue image — so you see the grain and the colour you are getting. Ordering runs through WhatsApp for the same reason: it is faster to send you four photographs than to make you guess from one.
If you would rather wear a single bead than a string of them, every mukhi count we hold is on the main rudraksha page, and the bead your Moon sign points at is on the rashi pages.

Questions about rudraksha bracelets
Which rudraksha bracelet should I buy first?
The five mukhi. It sits under Kalagni Rudra in the tradition, it is held suitable for every wearer without condition or initiation, and it is the least likely to be a decision you revisit. The mixed-mukhi Rudra and the Mahakal are usually second bracelets, bought by people who already wear beads.
Can a rudraksh bracelet be worn every day?
That is what it is strung for. The observances people generally keep are simple: take it off before applying oil, perfume or anything chemical, let it dry naturally rather than with heat if it gets wet, and do not lend it out. None of that is onerous, and a bracelet treated that way lasts for years.
Can women wear a rudraksha bracelet?
Yes. The tradition places no bar on it, and the five mukhi in particular is held suitable for every wearer. There are households that observe their own customs around specific days, and those are worth respecting where they are yours — but the idea that rudraksha is a men’s bead is not something the tradition supports.
What wrist size do the bracelets come in?
Standard strings fit a sixteen-to-eighteen-centimetre wrist. Send us your measurement on WhatsApp and we will string to it at no extra charge — it is a few minutes of work at our end and it is the difference between a bracelet you wear and one that sits in a drawer.
How much is an original rudraksha bracelet?
Each bracelet on this page carries its own price, and the figures move with bead size and mukhi count rather than with branding. We will send you the rupee equivalent alongside the dollar price on WhatsApp — the $38 five mukhi bracelet, for instance, works out around ₹3,150 at the current rate.
Do you deliver bracelets to India?
Yes, to any Indian address, tracked from Kathmandu, usually three to twelve days. Prices are quoted in rupees as well as dollars, tracking goes out the day the parcel does, and payment is settled on WhatsApp beforehand — cash on delivery is not available into India.
