🌿 Ek Mukhi Rudraksha – Benefits, Power, and How to Wear It

What Is Ek Mukhi Rudraksha?

The Ek Mukhi Rudraksha (also known as 1 Mukhi Rudraksha) is the rarest and most auspicious bead in the Rudraksha family. Revered as the symbol of Lord Shiva, this sacred bead is believed to bring miracles and blessings to the wearer.

The most authentic 1 Mukhi Rudraksha available today originates from Java, Indonesia, where the natural bead is smaller in size (about 8–12 mm) and shaped like a rice grain. The classic Nepal variety is almost extinct, making the Indonesian Ek Mukhi the most trusted and accessible option.
