Where 3 Mukhi Rudraksha Is Found

Rudraksha are the dried seeds of the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree, native to the Indo-Gangetic plains, Nepal, and parts of Indonesia (Java). "Mukhi" refers to the number of natural vertical clefts on the seed's surface; Nepal's high-altitude trees are generally considered the finest source, with Indonesian beads also widely traded.

Use

3 Mukhi Rudraksha represents Agni, the fire god, and is linked to Mars. Worn to burn away past-life karma and negative tendencies, and to build willpower, courage, and confidence.
