Siesta Fair Trade Mallah Mala Beads Necklace 108 Authentic Uttis Wood Traditional Buddhist Rosary with Red Tassel Handmade Lokta Paper Gift Box Coconut Shell Clasp Made in Nepal

108 AUTHENTIC BEADS — THE SACRED COUNT FOR JAPA MEDITATION: Each japa mala contains exactly 108 hand-finished wooden beads, the sacred number in Buddhism used for mantra counting and intention-setting. Approx. 8mm diameter × 6mm width per bead, on a 74 cm (29 in) inner circumference — ideal for use as a meditation necklace, or held during seated practice. Please note that whilst most mallah have 108 beads, occasionally extra beads are added in case the practitioner skips some by mistake. GIFT-READY IN A HANDMADE LOKTA PAPER BOX: Presented in a traditional Nepali Lokta paper gift box (approx. 15.3 × 7.8 × 2 cm), fastened with a natural coconut shell button. The lid is printed with the history and use of the mala — no extra wrapping needed. An exceptional mala beads gift for yogis, meditators, and wellness seekers, or anyone who appreciates a meaningful, ethically made object. FOR MEDITATION, YOGA, ANXIETY RELIEF & EVERYDAY WEAR: Used across Buddhist and Hindu traditions for mantra chanting (Om Mani Padme Hum and beyond), breath counting, and anxiety relief through repetitive tactile focus. Beautiful as yoga beads, a boho necklace, or a spiritual gift for her or him. Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike — instructions included in the box. NATURAL UTTIS HARDWOOD — RICH GRAIN, BEAUTIFUL AGEING: These wooden mala beads are carved from the Uttis tree, native to the Himalayan foothills of Nepal. Each bead carries a warm dark rosewood tone with fine natural striations — no two identical. Dense, tactile, and satisfying to handle, they develop a deeper lustre with regular use, making them a mindfulness necklace that genuinely improves with time. FAIR TRADE — MADE IN NEPAL WITH CARE: Produced by a certified member of the Fair Trade Group Nepal, supporting artisan communities in the Kathmandu Valley. Fair wages, safe conditions, and traditional Himalayan craft skills passed down through generations. Wear it knowing exactly where it came from and who made it.
