A mix of Calcite, Carnelian, Citrine, Jasper, Tiger Eye, Sunstone, Smoky Quartz and Rudraksha
Indra
Indra reigns over the heavens and is king of the Gods, he is a great warrior symbolizing courage and strength. In his hand he holds a vajra, a powerful magical weapon- also known in Buddhism as the Dorje.
This Indra mala has been carefully made using crystals that symbolize the power and strength of Indra such as Carnelian, Citrine and Tiger Eye.
This mala bead necklace is traditionally used as a tool for mantra chanting and meditation. Today we also wear them as yoga jewellery and healing jewellery.
Each crystal bead in this mala has metaphysical therapeutic qualities that benefit the wearer.

The mala was hand strung by us in New Delhi, India and finished with our signature Ahimsa (cruelty free) silk tassel.
This mala also comes in a Khadi (organic cotton) pouch which is block printed with vegetable dyes and sewn by our friends SEW NEW FUTURES, a NGO that provides skills trainings to underprivileged young women in New Delhi.

A mala was traditionally seen as a sacred object and not shown to anyone.
Today we like to wear and absorb the healing vibrations of the crystals, but remember that this is still a sacred object. Treat your mala like you would treat a photo of your teacher, with care and respect.
Our malas as strung on high-grade wire or knotted on fine cotton thread. Please do not put your mala into water, as this will degrade the wire or the cotton string.
You can wash your tassel (only your tassel!) in a little warm water with some baby (or other soft) shampoo. Gently tease out any tangles with a comb after drying.
Certain crystals will loose colour if placed in direct sunlight. Protect your mala in the cloth pouch provided.
Crystals absorb vibrations and it is a good idea to cleanse your crystals once a month either with smoke from incense or by placing your mala under the rays of the full moon outside or on the windowsill.
