These beads are often worn around the left wrist or neck, and during meditation, the practitioner repeats a specific mantra while counting the beads. Tassels at the end of each strand typically include extra beads for tracking tens and hundreds of recitations. A true mala comprises precisely 108 beads, a number considered auspicious as it is a multiple of 9 and 12, symbolizing the 9 planets and the 12 houses of the zodiac.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic Rudraksha beads, sacred seeds from the \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eElaeocarpus ganitrus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, long used in prayer and meditation across South Asia.
