Rudraksha 101: Understanding the Mukhis

From 1 Mukhi to 14, Gauri Shankar to Ganesh, what the sacred faces of the rudraksha bead mean, and how to wear a single bead.

The rudraksha is the sacred seed of Shiva. Unlike a crystal, its power is read in its mukhis the natural vertical faces that run across the bead.

What the faces mean

The rare 1 Mukhi represents supreme consciousness. 5 Mukhi the most common and most blessed, brings health and peace. 7 Mukhi invites fortune; 8 Mukhi carries the blessing of Ganesha; Gauri Shankar two beads naturally joined, is worn for union and harmony.

A single bead, worn close

NoorKara presents the rudraksha as it is traditionally worn: a single sacred bead, finished with a fine gold-toned cap and threaded on a knotted cord, close to the heart, against the skin.

Authenticity matters

A true rudraksha is certified for its mukhi count and origin. Every NoorKara bead is verified and accompanied by our certificate of authenticity.
