CHENNAI: Some of the malas made of rare rudrakshas like Indra Mala, which costs above Rs 75 lakh, one Mukhi Rudraksha, Naga Rudraksha, Srikanta Mala, Siddha Mala, Trijuti and Third Eye, are on display at the Rudraksha Exhibition-cum-Sale at CP Art Centre, Eldams Road, Alwarpet.
The exhibition organised by Indo-Nepal Rudraksha Organisation, aims at creating awareness on rudrakshas, says G Panduranga Rao, director of Indo-Nepal Rudraksha Organisation.
A Vedic Mathematician and specialist in Rudraksha, Panduranga says, “Rudhraksha’s upto 21 mukhi have been obtained and some of these beads are extremely rare. A mala consisting of one to 14 mukhi is called Siddha Mala and the one consisting of one to 21 Mukhi is known as Indra Mala.” Spatika Malas, Navarathan Malas, Spatika Lingam, Japa Malas and Rudraksha Malas are also on display.
He stressed that originality was very important in rudrakshas as duplicate ones were easily available. “The Gouri Shankar Rudraksha symbolises Lord Shiva and the goddess Parvati. It is a rare one,” he says.
With your date of birth, Panduranga will suggest which rudraksha is suitable for each individual to wear.
