What is Rudraksha?

Rudraksha is a sacred seed originating from the Rudraksha tree found in the Himalayan regions of Nepal, India, and Indonesia. With a history dating back thousands of years, it holds deep spiritual significance in Hinduism and is commonly used in prayer beads and jewelry. Its appearance includes distinctive grooves or facets, and the number of faces on each seed determines its rarity and spiritual potency.
