The product is specified as Nepal origin. Where applicable, it is supplied with IHAS certification and relevant product documentation.

Before shipment, the product undergoes the applicable VastuKosha purification process under the guidance of Acharya Anuj Jain, as part of the brand's traditional preparation process.

As Rudraksha is a natural seed, individual beads may vary in shape, size, colour, texture, surface markings, contours and Mukhi formation. The overall roundness or smoothness may also vary naturally.

• Keep the Rudraksha dry whenever possible.

• Remove before bathing or swimming if prolonged water exposure is expected.

• Avoid perfumes, chemicals, detergents and harsh cleaning products.

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not use abrasive materials.

• Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.

• Avoid excessive pressure or impact on the bead.

• Keep away from extreme heat and prolonged direct sunlight.

7. What You Should Know Before Buying

Eight Mukhi identification: The 8 Mukhi classification refers to the natural Mukhi lines or faces of the Rudraksha. Visual appearance alone should not be treated as independent proof of authenticity. Where certification is supplied, refer to the applicable documentation.

Obstacle removal: The 8 Mukhi Rudraksha is traditionally associated with Lord Ganesha and overcoming obstacles. It does not guarantee the removal of specific problems or obstacles from life.

Focus and courage: Traditional associations with focus and courage do not guarantee improved concentration, decision-making, confidence or professional performance.

New ventures: The bead may be used symbolically when beginning a new venture, but it does not guarantee business growth, success, customers or favourable outcomes.

Rahu association: Some traditions associate the 8 Mukhi Rudraksha with Rahu. This is not a universal classification or a substitute for individual Jyotish guidance.

Natural variation: Differences in size, shape, colour, texture, surface markings and Mukhi formation are normal characteristics of a natural Rudraksha bead.

Calmness and protection: Rudraksha may be used as part of prayer and meditation, but claims of guaranteed calmness, positive energy or protection should be understood as traditional beliefs rather than established outcomes.

8. Important Note

Natural Rudraksha beads may show variations in shape, size, colour, texture, surface markings, contours and natural formations. Such differences are normal characteristics of a natural bead.
