What is 5 Mukhi Rudraksha?
5 Mukhi Rudraksha (Pancha Mukhi) is the most common and universally safe Rudraksha bead, ruled by Jupiter (Brihaspati) and governed by Lord Kalagni Rudra. It has five natural grooves running from head to tail. Recommended for students, meditators, and anyone seeking overall health and spiritual growth — it is the foundational bead in every Rudraksha mala.
