Product description Tulsi Mala is one of the most popular malas worn by Indians. Many famous people have been seen adorning Tulsi Mala like Amitabh Bachchan and Murali Kartik. Made from one of the most auspicious plants in the Hindu religion, it is a beautiful string of beads made from the woody parts of Tulsi plant. While Hindus prefer to use the white beads Tulsi Mala, Buddhists also chant using it but they prefer the black one. Made of 108 beads, the biggest one represents Lord Krishna and crossing over of this one is considered incorrect and inauspicious.
