Some popular varieties include: One Mukhi Rudraksha: Represents Lord Shiva; brings spiritual awakening and clarity. Five Mukhi Rudraksha: The most common type; promotes health, peace, and general well-being. Six Mukhi Rudraksha: Linked to Lord Kartikeya; enhances willpower and confidence. Eleven Mukhi Rudraksha: Associated with Lord Hanuman; offers courage and protection. When purchasing an original rudraksha mala in Haridwar, it is important to choose beads based on your spiritual needs and guidance from knowledgeable practitioners.
