Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Mukhi" mean?
Mukhi refers to the natural vertical lines (facets) running along a Rudraksha bead's surface — the number of these lines is what determines its type, from 1 Mukhi up to 21 Mukhi. Each Mukhi is traditionally linked to a specific deity and planetary energy, which is why your recommendation above is based on your own chart.
How can I tell if a Rudraksha bead is genuine before buying?
Look for natural, irregular grooves (not perfectly uniform machine-carved lines), a rough rather than glossy surface, and a natural hole through the center. Beyond visual inspection, an X-ray or microscopic check by a certified gemology source is the more reliable way to confirm authenticity — home tests like the water-sink or mustard-oil test are widely circulated but not consistently reliable, since sources disagree on them. Buying from a reputed, established supplier remains the most practical safeguard.
Can I wear more than one Rudraksha bead together?
Yes, multiple Mukhi types are commonly worn together on the same mala or bracelet — just as with gemstones, it's worth choosing combinations whose ruling planets/deities are considered harmonious rather than mixing arbitrarily.
