The mala does not have exact 108 beads. They can be more or less but definitely more than 100 beads. It is because Vaijayanti mala is not supposed to be a Japa mala. It is offered to Lord Vishnu and is only for his Puja. The garlands and flowers or seeds that we offer to various deities during puja hold immense significance. These items hold a specific vibration that resonates with the specific deity and attract Saatvik frequencies which fill the ambiance with positivity and purity. Vaijayanti is one such divine herb whose flowers, seeds and garlands are offered to various deities in Hinduism. The word Vaijayanti is also spelled as Vyjayanti which is a theological flower which has its association with the banana and ginger plants. The Vaijayanti grass bears colourful flowers comprising of orange, yellow, red or combination of colours. The literal meaning of Vaijayanti mala is "the garland of victory". The word Vaijayanti means to be victorious and the word mala means garland or rosary. This divine mala finds its mention in the Holy ancient legend of Mahabharata as vanamali, another name for Lord Vishnu. The word Vanamali is a Sanskrit word where Vana means forest and mali means wearing a garland.

Product description Tulsi Mala is one of the most popular malas worn by Indians. Many famous people have been seen adorning Tulsi Mala like Amitabh Bachchan and Murali Kartik. Made from one of the most auspicious plants in the Hindu religion, it is a beautiful string of beads made from the woody parts of Tulsi plant. While Hindus prefer to use the white beads Tulsi Mala, Buddhists also chant using it but they prefer the black one. Made of 108 beads, the biggest one represents Lord Krishna and crossing over of this one is considered incorrect and inauspicious. Chanting with Tulsi Mala brings forth greater concentration and more piousness in prayers and meditation. According to ancient scriptures like Vedas, Tulsi Mala can be worn by anyone without any restrictions on age, gender or caste. There is no need for elaborate rituals and prayers to adorn Tulsi Mala. While it has special importance in devotees of Lord Krishna, anyone can wear it.
