9 Mukhi
₹ 12,500
One from VIZHEE's Rudraksha Pendants range, this piece is a 9-mukhi bead, linked in the classical texts to Durga and the planet Ketu. In the hand, it keeps the figure of Shiva close, worn rather than displayed. Look closer and it is cut to sit well on men. Water, perfume and rough handling are the only real things to avoid — otherwise it's a low-maintenance piece. Most people wear it as quiet attention turned inward, in keeping with staying aligned with the cosmos and rooted in the earth. It's a piece to reach for without thinking, once it becomes part of how you get dressed.

Read by hand: we count the 9 mukhi (faces) on the bead ourselves — there is no external document behind that reading.
The Padma Purana account (via Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham) assigns the nine-faced bead to Durga, ruled by Ketu, with the mantra Om Hreem Hum Namah. Independent astrology and rudraksha reference charts consistently repeat this Durga–Ketu pairing, and the number nine also echoes Durga's Navadurga (nine-form) worship. Shiva is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. Described here as tradition, not as a guaranteed effect.
Seed of the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree, worn as a prayer bead across Hindu and Buddhist tradition. Natural beads vary in colour and grain and may deepen with wear — a mark of a real bead, not a fault.
The pendant form's conceptual template is old: medieval reliquary pendants were made to hold fragments of saints' relics, establishing the idea of a precious, meaningful object worn close to the body at chest level. By the 16th century, portrait miniatures migrated into jewelry as secular pendant lockets, and by the Victorian era pendants and lockets had become a primary vehicle for sentiment, memory, and mourning in the West. Open to any devotee regardless of age or gender; choice of deity or symbol is generally personal (Ishta Devata) rather than restricted by tradition.
Keep away from water, perfume and harsh chemicals. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store flat, away from direct sunlight. Rudraksha and other natural beads may deepen in tone with wear — this is expected, and part of how a piece becomes yours.
