How to Recognize a 100% Original Tulsi Mala & Where to Buy It?

How to Recognize an Original Tulsi Mala?

1. Made from Tulsi Stem

A genuine Tulsi Mala is crafted from the thin branches of the Tulsi plant, after carefully removing its outer skin (bark). This process ensures that the beads retain the sacred properties of Tulsi, making them spiritually powerful.

2. Bead Size & Cost

• The thicker the beads, the higher the price due to the increased material and craftsmanship required.

• Thinner beads are more affordable but still retain the same spiritual essence.

3. Surface Finish

• Premium quality malas have a smooth, well-rubbed finish, making them more expensive.

• Less refined rubbing results in a slightly rougher surface, making the mala more affordable.

4. Natural Skin Marks

• Even after polishing, faint skin (bark) impressions remain visible on original Tulsi beads.

• This is a key indicator of authenticity, as fake malas often lack these marks.

5. Fine Hairline Cracks

• Minor hairline cracks on Tulsi beads are completely natural and indicate originality.

• These cracks do not compromise the durability of the mala but rather confirm that it is made from real Tulsi wood.

6. Fake vs. Real Tulsi Mala

• Fake Tulsi Malas are often made from plain white wood with an overly smooth surface.

• No matter how well-polished a fake mala is, it will not have natural Tulsi marks like skin impressions or minor cracks.

• Real Tulsi Mala will always have slight imperfections that indicate its natural origin.

Comparison of Different Tulsi Mala Finishes

To complement your understanding, here’s a breakdown of the three common types of Tulsi Mala:

✅ Super Finish – Best quality, minimal skin marks, and highly polished. ✅ Medium Finish – Slightly visible skin marks, moderate polishing. ❌ Fake Wood Mala – Plain white wooden beads with no Tulsi characteristics.
