About the Mala

A mala is a string of 108 beads used in the Hindu and Buddhist practice of japa, where the beads keep count while reciting or mentally repeating a mantra. By tradition the mala is held in the right hand and the beads are moved with the thumb. This is offered as a devotional and cultural tradition.
