A Tulsi Japa Mala is a string of prayer beads traditionally used in Hinduism for meditation, chanting, and prayer. It is made from the wood of the Tulsi (Holy Basil) plant, which is considered sacred in Hindu culture and is believed to have spiritual significance. The Tulsi plant is revered for its medicinal properties as well.
Each Tulsi Japa Mala typically consists of 108 beads, though some may have a different number based on individual preferences or traditions. The number 108 is considered sacred in Hinduism and is believed to represent the universe’s entirety.
