{"product_id":"tulsi-japa-mala-saffron-tassel","title":"Tulsi Japa Mala — 108 Beads with Saffron Tassel","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne hundred and eight round tulsi beads, knotted individually in saffron\u003cbr\u003ethread, finished with a tassel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knot between each bead is what makes this a japa mala rather than a\u003cbr\u003enecklace: it stops the beads sliding together, so the thumb finds the next one\u003cbr\u003ewithout looking and the count stays honest. It also means a broken thread\u003cbr\u003eloses one bead, not all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beads are rounded and polished smooth by handling. The saffron thread is\u003cbr\u003ebright when new and softens with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it dry. The thread will loosen over months of chanting, which is normal\u003cbr\u003eand can be re-knotted. The wood darkens with the oil of the hands — a mala in\u003cbr\u003edaily use looks quite different by its second year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Divyalankar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47658160357532,"sku":"DVL-JAP-260912-108-0002","price":300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/7784\/2076\/files\/j2.png?v=1789913650","url":"https:\/\/shop.divyalankar.com\/products\/tulsi-japa-mala-saffron-tassel","provider":"Divyalankar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
