Rudraksha 5 Mukhi

Description

Presiding Deity
Kalagni Rudra (A form of Lord Shiva)

Chanting either mantra 108 times daily helps activate the bead’s energy and aligns the wearer with its benevolent powers.

It is believed to clear blockages in the Throat Chakra for better communication and harmonize the Heart Chakra for emotional balance and peace.
