# Rudraksha Buying Guide - Rudraa Ratna

Rudraa Ratna (India) offers authentic Nepali Rudraksha beads with guided selection, website checkout where available, and WhatsApp consultation before checkout. Shop: https://rudraaratna.com/rudraksha

## How to check a Rudraksha
- Count the mukhi (natural vertical faces/lines); they should be clear, continuous and naturally formed, not carved or glued.
- Each bead is unique - ask for the current bead photo and mukhi-line visibility through WhatsApp consultation before checkout.
- Ask for size and any supporting documentation where applicable.

## 5 Mukhi vs 8 Mukhi
- 5 Mukhi Nepali Rudraksha (INR 500): the common daily-wear bead, traditionally chosen for calm and routine. https://rudraaratna.com/products/5-mukhi-rudraksha
- 8 Mukhi Nepali Rudraksha (INR 3000): chosen with more guidance, traditionally for focus and protection symbolism. https://rudraaratna.com/products/8-mukhi-nepali-rudraksha

## Care
Keep it dry where possible, avoid harsh chemicals, and oil the bead occasionally. Treat it as a sacred daily-wear bead.

## Important
Rudraksha is worn for traditional, belief-based intention. Rudraa Ratna does not promise any guaranteed or fixed outcome.
