Karungali (Ebony Wood) Mala with Silver-Tone Caps

This version has decorative silver-tone metal caps on each bead and is linked like a necklace, making it ideal for daily wear. The plain Karungali Mala has a simple strung design with a tassel, suited mainly to chanting.

The caps are silver-tone metal, chosen for a bright, durable finish. They are not sold as hallmarked silver.

Karungali is traditionally believed to promote grounding, focus and protection from negativity, and is associated with Lord Murugan and Mangal (Mars). These are traditional beliefs, not guaranteed results.

Yes. You can count mantras on it by moving one bead at a time. Handle the linked caps gently and avoid pulling the strand.

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and keep away from water, perfume and chemicals. Store it in a dry pouch so the metal stays bright and the wood keeps its finish.

Wash it gently in clean water or Ganga jal, let it dry, then keep it in front of your deity with a diya and incense. Chant your chosen mantra 108 times using the mala. Vedic Rishi also energises each mala before dispatch.

Tradition suggests keeping a personal mala for your own use only, because it carries your chanting practice. Keep a separate mala if you want to gift one or share one with family members.

Hold the mala in your right hand over the middle finger and move each bead towards you with the thumb. Avoid using the index finger. Keep the mala above your navel during chanting, and store it in a cloth pouch afterwards.
