{"product_id":"tulsi-mala-barrel-beads","title":"Tulsi Mala | Graduated Barrel Beads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is something quietly profound about a mala that meets you where you are — and guides you forward, one bead at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis japa mala is handcrafted in India from authentic tulsi (Holy Basil) wood, the plant held most beloved of Lord Krishna in the Vaishnava tradition. Its 108 barrel-cut beads are graduated — beginning at about 1\/4\" in diameter and 1\/2\" in length, and growing gently to 1\/2\" by 5\/8\" — so your fingers feel a natural rhythm and orientation as you move through each round of mantra. Each bead is individually hand-knotted on strong cotton thread for durability and smooth, uninterrupted flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTulsi is revered as deeply purifying, drawing the heart closer to the Divine with every repetition.
