Antiqued Bodhi Japa Mala

Our antiqued bodhi ritual, japa mala, belongs to the Buddhist cultural heritage. The monks can be seen holding Buddha Chitta japa mala in their hands and chanting the mantra while taking rounds around the stupa in Kathmandu. This handcrafted Japa mala is also one of a kind and they use it while doing prayers. People in a famous Timal village in Nepal grow a tree called Buddha Chitta, which is a source of beads to make this Japa mala. People in that village have a story that makes them believe that the tree they grow is a sacred tree and the beads that the tree grows have the Buddha’s eye on it.

Why Purchase Our Antiqued Bodhi Japa Mala?

Our professional artisans collect beads from the villagers. They bring it to their crafting place, where they decorate each bead with gemstones and brass wires after frying the beads using natural pigments to give them antiqued colorings. The women in the crafting place then put the beads into the nylon thread to make this Japa mala. This beautiful Buddhist Japa mala carries the historic importance of Buddhist culture in Nepal.
