Detailed Specifications
Picture this: the sun is just rising over Chembur, and the temple bells begin their morning call. You reach for this chain — not because you have to, but because it feels right. The rudraksha beads, warm from a night resting near your bed, carry the earthy scent of something ancient. Each bead is a seed from the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree, formed over years in the foothills of Nepal or the highlands of Indonesia, and revered for millennia as the tears of Lord Shiva himself. When you clasp this chain around your neck, you are not simply wearing jewellery — you are wearing a piece of the Himalayas, held together by gold that was worked by hands right here in Mumbai.
The design is intentionally straightforward: natural 5 Mukhi rudraksha beads, each capped with hand-finished gold crowns that display fine granulation work, connected by delicate gold chain links. There are no unnecessary embellishments — the beauty is in the contrast between the rough, organic texture of the rudraksha and the warm gleam of hallmarked gold. The gold caps are shaped to sit snugly over each bead, protecting the natural mukhi lines while allowing the bead's energy to flow unimpeded against your skin. The chain links are crafted to drape naturally, whether you wear it over a kurta or under a shirt.
This is the kind of chain that families at Swarn Shikhar have been asking for — something that bridges devotion and daily life. We have been serving Chembur and Mumbai for over 40 years, and we understand that a rudraksha chain is not a fashion statement. It is a companion. It is the chain your father wore to the temple, the chain your son will inherit, the chain that sits against your heart through every important moment of your life. That is why we use only genuine rudraksha and hallmarked gold — because something meant to last generations deserves materials that will.
The Sacred Origin of Rudraksha
The word “Rudraksha” comes from two Sanskrit roots: Rudra (a name for Lord Shiva) and Aksha (eye) — “the Eye of Shiva.” According to the Shiva Purana, when Lord Shiva opened his eyes after thousands of years of deep meditation, tears of compassion streamed down his face. Where those tears fell upon the earth, the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree took root and bore the sacred rudraksha seeds. Each bead carries within it the compassionate gaze of Mahadeva himself.
The Rudrakshajabala Upanishad — one of the minor Upanishads dedicated entirely to rudraksha — declares that wearing these beads absolves all sins and purifies the wearer. The Shiva Purana further states that devotees of Shiva should wear rudraksha daily, and that all people — regardless of caste, gender, or station — may wear them with reverence and devotion. This is not jewellery restricted to priests or ascetics; it is a gift from Shiva to all of humanity.
The 5 Mukhi (Panchmukhi) bead used in this chain represents the five aspects of Shiva: Sadyojaat, Aghora, Tatpurush, Vamadeva, and Ishana. It is blessed by Kalagni Rudra and is the most universally recommended type — safe for men, women, and anyone above the age of 14. The Shiva Purana specifically describes the 5 Mukhi as the bead that brings mental peace, emotional balance, and freedom from worldly anxieties. It is associated with the Vishuddha (throat) chakra, enhancing clarity of thought and communication.
Why Wear Rudraksha Daily?
Mental Clarity & Focus
Rudraksha is known to calm the nervous system and bring alertness without restlessness. Meditators and professionals alike find that wearing rudraksha helps sustain concentration during long hours of work or prayer.
Spiritual Protection
The Shiva Purana describes rudraksha as forming a protective shield around the wearer, safeguarding against negative energies and low vibrational influences. It is believed that one who dies wearing rudraksha attains Moksha — liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
Emotional Balance & Stress Relief
5 Mukhi rudraksha is particularly valued for reducing anxiety and promoting emotional equilibrium. It helps regulate blood pressure and calms the mind during stressful situations — making it a meaningful companion for the pressures of modern urban life.
Chakra Alignment
The 5 Mukhi bead resonates with the Vishuddha (throat) chakra, clearing blockages that affect self-expression, truthfulness, and communication. Worn close to the throat and heart, this chain supports both emotional honesty and spiritual openness.
How to Energize & Wear This Chain
Condition the Beads (First Time Only)
Immerse the rudraksha beads in pure ghee (clarified butter) for 24 hours. Then transfer to full-fat milk for another 24 hours. Rinse gently with clean water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. This opens the pores of the bead and prepares it to absorb your energy.
Energize with Mantra
Hold the chain in both hands, close your eyes, and chant "Om Namah Shivaya" 108 times. Monday morning during Brahma Muhurta (4–6 AM) is the most auspicious time. Maha Shivaratri is the ideal occasion for first wearing or annual re-energization.
Wear Close to Your Skin
The chain should rest against your skin, ideally near the heart or throat area. Direct skin contact allows the rudraksha's energy to flow into your body. You may wear it continuously, including during sleep.
When to Remove
Remove before bathing with hot water or chemical soaps (hot water can make rudraksha brittle). Also remove during visits to cremation grounds or during shraadh rituals. Store in a silk pouch in your pooja room when not wearing.
Rudraksha Mantra:
ॐ नमः शिवाय
Chant 108 times daily for spiritual growth and protection
Daily Wearing Guidelines
✓ Do's
- Wear daily with devotion — rudraksha becomes more powerful the longer you wear it consistently
- Keep it close to your skin for direct energy transfer
- Condition with ghee and milk every 6 months to keep beads healthy
- Handle with clean hands and treat with reverence
- Chant Om Namah Shivaya while wearing for deeper connection
✗ Don'ts
- Never wear in hot water baths — heat makes rudraksha brittle and prone to cracking
- Avoid chemical soaps, perfumes, or harsh detergents directly on the beads
- Do not share your personal rudraksha chain with others
- Never set it aside casually — when not wearing, store in a silk pouch in your pooja room
- Do not wear during cremation visits or shraadh ceremonies
Craftsmanship & Quality
Hand-Selected Rudraksha Beads
Each 5 Mukhi bead is individually selected for clear, well-defined mukhi lines, proper size uniformity, and natural integrity. We source beads with visible natural facets — no machine-processed or artificially enhanced seeds. The characteristic rough texture of genuine rudraksha is preserved, ensuring both authenticity and spiritual efficacy.
Ornate Gold Crown Caps
The gold caps that encase each bead are crafted using traditional Indian goldsmithing techniques — fine granulation work along the cap's edge, hand-finished detailing that catches light at every angle. The caps are shaped to sit snugly without compressing the bead, protecting the natural mukhi lines while allowing the rudraksha's full surface to breathe and contact the skin.
BIS Hallmarked Gold
Every gold component — caps, link chains, and clasp — is BIS hallmark certified, guaranteeing the purity and weight of gold used. At Swarn Shikhar, we have been hallmarking every piece since before it was mandated by law, because transparency is not a regulation for us — it is a family value passed down over 40 years.
Designed for a Lifetime of Daily Wear
The chain links are crafted for durability without sacrificing elegance — strong enough for daily use, yet light enough to drape naturally under any garment. The connection points between gold links and bead caps are reinforced to withstand years of continuous wear. With proper care and periodic conditioning, this chain becomes a family heirloom that can be passed down through generations.
Perfect Occasions to Gift or Buy
A gold rudraksha chain is among the most meaningful gifts you can give — a wish for protection, peace, and spiritual growth that stays with the wearer every day
Maha Shivaratri
The most sacred night dedicated to Lord Shiva — the ideal time to begin wearing rudraksha. Gifting a gold rudraksha chain on Shivaratri is a profound blessing, connecting the wearer to Shiva's compassionate energy on the night when his cosmic presence is said to be strongest.
Diwali & Dhanteras
Dhanteras marks the beginning of Diwali and is the most auspicious day to purchase precious metals. A gold rudraksha chain bought on this day carries the blessing of Goddess Lakshmi alongside Shiva's protection — prosperity and spiritual growth in one sacred piece.
Griha Pravesh & New Beginnings
When entering a new home or beginning a new chapter — a job, a business, a marriage — a rudraksha chain is a gift of protection and grounding. It says: “may you carry peace with you wherever you go.”
Spiritual Milestones
A young person beginning their spiritual journey, someone completing a pilgrimage, or a devotee deepening their practice — a gold rudraksha chain marks these moments with gravity and beauty. Many gurus gift rudraksha to their students as a blessing.
Birthdays & Anniversaries
For a father, husband, brother, or mentor who values both tradition and spirituality, a gold rudraksha chain is a deeply personal gift. It shows that you see and honour the spiritual dimension of their life — not just the material.
Raksha Bandhan
Sisters gift brothers a rudraksha chain as a symbol of protection — the beads themselves are said to form a protective shield around the wearer. It is a raksha (protection) that stays with your brother every single day, far beyond the thread on his wrist.
Care Instructions
Rudraksha Bead Care
Condition every 6 months: soak in pure ghee for 24 hours, then full-fat milk for 24 hours. Use a soft brush to clean dust from the bead pores. Never use chemical cleaners, bleach, or alcohol on the beads. Keep away from prolonged hot water exposure. With proper care, rudraksha beads can last for decades or even centuries.
Gold Element Care
Wipe the gold caps and chain links with a soft, dry cloth to maintain their lustre. Avoid silver polishing compounds or abrasive cloths on gold — they are unnecessary and can scratch the surface. If you notice tarnishing at connection points, visit our Chembur store for professional ultrasonic cleaning.
Storage & Handling
When not wearing, store in a silk pouch (included with purchase) in your pooja room. Avoid plastic bags or airtight containers that trap moisture. Handle with clean, dry hands. Check the gold connectors and caps periodically for wear — we recommend an annual inspection at our Chembur store, especially if the chain is worn daily.
