Where 9 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.
