The first prayer beads (“Sanskrit: mala, meaning “garland”) grew out of the Vedic tradition in India and were the prototype for prayer beads in later world cultures. (For more information on history and meaning, see our
About Malas section.)
Our stone 108-bead malas are strung on strong flexible wire for durability and adorned with luxurious handmade cotton tassels. This stunning coral mala is made from bamboo coral that has been dyed a rich orange-red. It is finished with a yellow jade guru bead. Inquire about availability and price of un-dyed coral through our
custom mala form.
Marker beads may be special ordered for an additional $8.00 to $10.00 depending on the number added to the mala. Placement of markers can be arranged according to one’s meditation tradition. Please
