Handmade Sandalwood Mala Necklace (108 ct) - 6mm Sandalwood

Hand-crafted with 108 fragrant 6mm sandalwood beads, this classic mala necklace is designed to be a reliable, grounding staple in your collection. Perfect for meditation, mantra practice, and daily wear, the sweet, calming scent of sandalwood and signature smooth wooden texture of hand-strung beads blend together in this necklace to create a calm, grounding, and timeless piece crafted for any lifestyle.

Known as the “Wood of the Gods,” sandalwood is best known for its sweet fragrance which is said to remain even “to the very axe that cuts it." As such, it has been used since Vedic times as a symbol of non-attachment and unconditional compassion. Its deep, earthy scent is often associated with the Root Chakra, representing grounding and safety, and its mythological connection with Ganesha, the Hindu deity associated with success and new beginnings, has contributed to its sacred use in ritual and prayer to represent good fortune, success in new endeavors, and opportunity.

Simple, humble, and versatile, this sandalwood mala is locally handmade by our family partner artisans in traditional fashion right beneath the Boudhanath Stupa. Featuring high-quality materials and craftsmanship, this mala is a beautiful, essential, and timeless addition to any practice collection—whether used on the cushion, worn as a necklace, or wrapped around the wrist for everyday wear.
