Lotus Seed Mala Beads 108 | Kamal Gatta Japa Mala, 10 mm

A lotus seed mala with 108 beads, 10 mm each, hand-strung on red thread. Also called a kamal gatta mala.

Made from lotus seeds

Kamal gatta is the Hindi name for the hard, dried seed of the lotus flower. Each bead on this mala is one of those seeds, so no two are exactly alike. Some are rounder, some are a little uneven, and the surface has a natural rough texture.

The beads are strung on a red thread with a knot between them. 

How it is traditionally used

Lotus seed malas are commonly used for japa, particularly for Lakshmi mantras and Lakshmi puja, and they are also used for general meditation and home worship. You can use it the way you would any 108-bead mala: roll one bead for each repetition, and stop when you reach the end.

They are the same thing. Kamal gatta is the Hindi name, and this mala is made from lotus seeds. You may also see it called kamala mani or padma beej.

Why does each bead look different?

The beads are seeds, not machine-made, so their size, shape and surface vary a little. That is normal.

Is it heavy?

No. Lotus seed beads are light, so the mala is easy to hold for a long round of japa.

Can I wear it?

It is made for japa. If you would like to wear it, check the length in the table above first.

Is the thread strong?

The beads are hand-strung with a knot after each one. Avoid pulling it hard, and keep it dry so the thread lasts.
