Tulsi Kanthi Mala — Mahamantra on Leaves

tulsi leaves, and on each one a word of the Mahamantra, cut deep
enough to read with a fingertip.

The leaves hang from a single strand of small cylindrical tulsi beads, with a
gold-tone screw clasp at the back so the kanthi goes on and comes off without
pulling it over the head.

Tulsi is light. Most people stop noticing it within an hour of putting it on,
which is why it suits daily wear rather than occasional wear.

Keep it dry — take it off before a bath and before oiling the hair. The wood
darkens slowly with wear, and the beads vary in colour from pale cream to
deeper brown. Both come from the same plant and neither is a defect.
