Kanthi Mala 2 Round Small Disc- Shaped Beads is a light, two-loop tulsi wood neck mala made from small, flat-faced disc-shaped beads. Unlike round or barrel-cut beads, each disc catches light at a slightly different angle, giving the strand a subtle texture and a gentle shimmer as it moves. Two loops sit close and comfortable at the base of the throat, offering more visual detail than a plain round-bead mala without the fuller weight of a three-loop strand. Made from genuine tulsi wood, closed with a small brass screw-lock, and finished by hand, so minor variations in shade and grain are natural. A good choice for daily wear, or as a lighter second mala alongside a fuller one. Sold by ISKCON Mayapur's official store.

Kanthi Mala 3 Round Small Disc-Shaped Beads brings a shape rarely seen in most tulsi malas: flat-faced, coin-like discs instead of the usual round or barrel cut. Three loops of these small beads pack closely together, giving the strand a tighter, more textured look and a faint shimmer as the flat faces catch light differently while the mala moves. It offers more visual detail than a plain round-bead mala without the size and boldness of a barrel-cut style, a distinctive pick for someone who already owns a more common shape and wants something less typical. As with any real tulsi wood, natural grain and small variations between beads are expected. Priced among the higher options in the range, reflecting the extra shaping each disc bead requires.

Kanthi Mala 2 Round Rounded Barrel Beads takes the elongated barrel cut and softens every edge, so the strand keeps its traditional presence while sitting more gently against the skin. Two loops of tulsi wood beads, each with its flat facets smoothed away, give this mala more visual weight than a plain round-bead style without the fuller boldness of a three-loop barrel mala. The rounded edges also mean less catching on clothing and, in daily wear, less friction where the thread meets each bead. Natural grain and slight colour variation remain visible, a mark of genuine hand-shaped tulsi wood rather than a uniform, machine-cut finish.

Kanthi Mala 2 Round Oval-Shaped Beads is a light, two-loop tulsi neck mala made from gently curved oval beads. Softer and more textured than a plain round bead, without the bulk of a barrel cut, it settles quietly at the neck and suits a first-time kanthi mala or a younger devotee starting out. Genuine tulsi wood, so small shifts in grain and shade are normal. One of the most affordable pieces in the range.

Kanthi Mala 3 Round Oval-Shaped Beads sits between our smoother round-bead malas and our bolder barrel-cut style, strung from softly curved tulsi wood beads with gently rounded ends. The oval shape adds a little texture and visual rhythm to the strand without any hard corners pressing against the skin, giving it a calmer, more restrained look than a barrel-cut mala while still standing out from a plain round-bead one. Three loops sit together at the throat, forming a full, traditional band that many devotees associate with regular temple wear. Each bead carries the natural grain and slight colour variation of genuine tulsi wood, a sign of real, hand-finished work rather than a uniform, machine-cut piece. 

Kanthi Mala 3 Round Barrel-Shaped Beads is our boldest kanthi mala, made from long, hand-cut tulsi wood beads shaped like tiny grains, strung across three visible loops. Unlike our finer-bead styles, this one has real presence at the collar, closer to the pre-industrial kanthi malas worn before fine machine-turned beads became common. The slight unevenness between beads, an occasional rough edge, a bead longer than its neighbour, is a direct sign of hand-cutting, not a flaw to overlook. Larger beads mean a heavier feel, so it suits devotees who want their mala to be recognised rather than to disappear into daily wear. It is also the most expensive mala in the collection, reflecting the extra wood and individual shaping each barrel bead requires.

Kanthi Mala 3 Round Small Round Beads is a three-loop tulsi neck mala made from small, evenly rounded beads, cut with extra care so the strand looks tidy and consistent from day one. Unlike malas that embrace irregularity, this one is shaped to sit close and even, three loops forming a single, clean band rather than a visibly varied strand. Genuine tulsi wood still shows its natural grain and slight colour variation on close look, just within a more deliberate, rounded profile. It suits someone who likes plain round beads but wants the fuller presence of three strands instead of two, without stepping up to a bulkier barrel-cut style. A neat, considered choice for daily wear that only grows more settled-looking with time.

Kanthi Mala 3 Round Small Beads is a light, three-loop tulsi neck mala made from tiny, hand-cut tulsi wood beads. Because each bead is so small, the three strands bend easily and pack together into a soft, flexible band, one of the most traditional kanthi styles worn in temple communities. Most wearers say they stop noticing it within a day or two, which is exactly what a mala worn morning to night should feel like. As with any genuine tulsi wood, slight variations in shade and grain between beads are normal, part of what makes each strand one of a kind. Priced as the most affordable option in the collection, it suits a first kanthi mala or a light everyday piece just as well.

Kanthi Mala 2 Round is a classic two-loop neck mala made from smooth, round tulsi wood beads, closed with a small brass screw-lock. It is the shape most people picture when they think of a traditional kanthi mala: no sharp edges, no unusual cut, just even beads that sit quietly under a collar and never demand attention. Because the beads are real tulsi wood, small differences in shade and grain from bead to bead are natural, not a flaw. Light and comfortable enough to wear from morning to night, it suits both first-time buyers choosing their very first mala and long-time devotees who prefer a simple, dependable style.
