17 मुखे
In the farmer's words
यो कोसी प्रदेश संखुवासभा जिल्ला मादीनगरपालिकामा फलेको रुद्राक्ष हो
Who grew this bead
Listed by Yam tamang, in the Arun and Tamur valleys of eastern Nepal. They picked it, photographed it and set its price. We check the bead in Kathmandu, answer your questions, take the payment and ship it — and the farmer is paid directly, rather than through the middleman who would otherwise take most of it.
What the 17 Mukhi means in tradition
Katyayani — and Vishwakarma, the divine architect
Seventeen faces, associated in different lineages with the goddess Katyayani and with Vishwakarma, architect of the gods. Both readings converge on the same theme: the power to build — wealth in its widest sense, including the four aims of life themselves.
It is a rare bead of manifestation, traditionally chosen by those raising something large and lasting: an enterprise, an estate, an institution.
Traditional associations as the texts and living practice hand them down — not medical claims, and not promised outcomes.
Listed by the grower. Mukhi count, size and weight are as they recorded them — we check every bead in Kathmandu before it ships, and will tell you plainly if anything differs.
