We strictly never sell synthetic, pressed, painted, or artificially modified Rudraksha beads.

• Natural Gemstones: Formed over millions of years within the Earth. They contain natural geological inclusions and retain natural cosmic energies essential for Vedic astrology.
• Lab-Created Stones: Synthesized artificially in labs. While chemically similar, they lack geological history and are considered ineffective for astrological remedies.

Arihant Gems & Jewels deals exclusively in 100% natural, earth-mined gemstones.

"Mukhi" refers to the natural clefts/faces on the bead. Here is an overview:

The 5 Mukhi Rudraksha is the most universally accessible bead because:

• It carries balanced, harmonizing energy with no negative astrological contraindications.
• It is suitable for individuals of all ages, genders, and zodiac signs.
• It represents the five forms of Lord Shiva and supports overall health, mental calmness, and lower blood pressure.

Yes. You can combine multiple Mukhi beads (such as a Siddha Mala or specific combinations like 3+5 Mukhi, 5+10 Mukhi) to harmonize different planetary energies. We recommend selecting complementary combinations based on your birth chart or consulting our specialists.

• Keep Dry: Avoid wearing during swimming, bathing, or using harsh soaps and perfumes.
• Cleaning: Clean gently with a soft brush and dry cloth. Occasionally condition with pure sandalwood or almond oil.
• Storage: Store in a clean wooden box or velvet pouch in your puja space.
• Restringing: Replace strings every 2–3 years if you notice fraying.

While continuous wear is safe, traditional practice suggests removing your Rudraksha during bathing (to prevent chemical/soap damage), intimate moments, and funerals to maintain energetic purity. Place it respectfully in a sacred altar area when removed.

Do not worry—a broken string does not mean bad luck or that the bead has lost its power. Simply keep the beads safe, clean them, and have them professionally restrung on silk, cotton, or silver wire.
