Handcrafted in Nepal under the shadow of the Boudhanath Stupa, this 108 mala features authentic Lotus Seed beads with vintage-style traditional Tibetan spacers and a matching guru bead. The Lotus Seed beads are lightly tumbled for comfort and naturally stained to achieve their earth-toned appearance. Each brass Tibetan bead is inlaid with pieces of turquoise and coral. Lotus flowers are prized and honored among Buddhists for their ability to rise from murky water and bloom into exquisite beauty.
