These beads are traditionally used during prayers and recitations, with the practitioner rubbing the beads together to produce a sound similar to that of an abacus. This sound is believed to symbolize the breaking of evil and worldly desires. Recently, they are also carried by people as protective talismans to ward off misfortune and calamities during mountain climbing. 🟨 CHECKOUT 🟨 Please check your address before paying because we can ONLY ship to addresses that are entered before placing the order. 🟨 SHIPPING 🟨 Packages usually leave our warehouse within 10 days of payment.
