This hand knotted 108 bead mala is made with dark Sandalwood, which is a sacred wood with a lovely aromatic scent that is excellent for staying present and alert during meditation, which makes it wonderful for ritual and spiritual practice. Its fragrance is said to bring emotional balance. Our beads are real sandalwood which will last for decades. Sandalwood is the second most expensive wood in the world, right after African Blackwood. The orange color of the tassel is inspired by the color of a monk’s robe which symbolizes the flame that comes from a burning fire. Buddha sees the flame of fire as a symbol of truth. Wear this mala to always remind yourself of your inner truth as you continue the journey to enlightenment.

Mala measures about 34 inches around. Beads are approximately 7.5mm. Handmade in Nepal.
