Details

This Bodhi Seed Mala has a consistently deep and beautiful dark brown color. The beads are 10.5mm to 11.5mm and slightly trimmed on the sides. Therefore, the beads are not round. The height of the beads are 11.5mm on average. I am saying this is an "11.5mm" mala because that is the largest distance a side to a side. The length of the Mala is 22.25 inch or 56.52cm from the top of the mala to the bottom of the guru bead. The distance to the bottom of the decoration beads is 25.50 inches or 64.77cm. The mala has a very strong and striking appearance. The deep dark color (most accurate in images 1) has an elegant matte luster and an even appearance.

This is a high quality Bodhi Seed mala I hand picked at Boudhnath Stupa. This mala is from a dealer who only sells Bodhi Seed Malas at Boudhanath in Kathmandu. I met him in 2020 when I first visited Nepal. I have been acquiring Bodhi Seed Malas from him every year I go on Pilgrimage. This is a mala I hand picked in March of 2024.

This mala is priced accordingly for it's shape and size. The guru bead is a classic three-eyed design. There are two smaller Bodhi Seeds that make up the decoration at the end of the mala cord. This prayer bead is laced with a single loop of red nylon cord and has a sliding knot to adjust the slack/tension of the mala.
