•Nepalese rudrakshas are best in quality and faces are very clear on these beads.Indonesian

•Generally Rudraksha beads are classified on the basis of number of faces "mukhis" - the
clefts and furrows - they have on their surface ( or say the number of partitions the bead is
divided into). Each bead has a different effect on you, depending on the faces it has. These
faces are vital from astrological viewpoint , since it is believed that Rudrakshas of different
faces please different planets. The scriptures speak of 1-21 faces , but Rudrakshas of 1-14
faces are common , 15-21 are expensive and rare ones.
