Beautiful authentic Japa Mala from Nepal with small beads. Acquired in Delhi from a shop specializing in Tibetan objects. They are handmade with 108 natural bone beads, which makes them more exclusive and difficult to find. They are used in the practice of Japa or repetition of Mantras in meditation. Bone in Tibetan Buddhism symbolizes the permanence and cyclical nature of life and death. Bone connects with spirituality.
You can wear it around your neck or as a bracelet by wrapping it around your wrist.
Since it is made of bone, you don’t have to take it off at any time.
