Tibetan Large Rosewood Wrist Mala/ Bracelet for Meditation with Brown String This listing is for a Rosewood Wrist Mala/ Bracelet with brown string and each bead measures 8mm size approximately. There are 21 beads altogether. This mala is hand strung and it is made to fit all wrist size. The beads came from Kathmandu Nepal and strung by myself here in the USA. This mala also comes with a handmade cloth bag. The color of the bag varies, but i will try my best to pick the color of your choice. Malas are usually used for meditation, saying mantras, prostrations and so on. Wrist malas are specially used for prostration to count. When you do prostration, you wear on your palm under your thumb and do prostration. While the mala is not in use you wear on your left wrist. You can usually see people with malas in Tibet, Nepal and India specially around those stupas or monasteries.
