Red Sandalwood 108-Bead Mala
£30.72 Prices include UK VAT (20%).
Why 108 beads? The count goes back centuries in Buddhist and yoga practice — one full round of recitations or breaths, kept track of bead by bead. This strand is red sandalwood, warm-toned and lightly fragrant when new, strung to wrap four or five times around the wrist or wear as a necklace. You do not need to count anything to enjoy it; plenty of owners simply like the weight and the wood. Care is simple: keep it dry, keep it out of long sun.
