or the holy beads, has become a major draw for visitors here at the CP Art Foundation, Eldams Road, Alwarpet. It aims at creating general awareness among
the people about the positive effects of Rudraksha and also to differentiate it from
duplicate ones. Organised by the Indo-Nepal Rudraksha Organisation, the displayed
collection features unique ranges of Rudrakshas beads with one to 21 `mukhis'
(symbolic faces). It includes one Mukhi Round Rudraksha, Naga Rudraksha,
Srikanta Mala, Siddha Mala. The rare wealth Kuber Rudrakhsa worth 22,00,000
has also been exhibited. "Our
main intention is that people get awareness about Rudraksha. In that way everyday
we are doing demonstrations how to find out original Rudraksha among the
duplicate,"
said N. Panduranga Rao, Director of the Indo-Nepal Rudraksha Organisation.
"Charaksamhita
is the father of medicine. Rudraksha is at first place in Charaksamhita. Rudraksha
basically is good for health," Panduranga Rao said. He also informed that these
all Rudrakshas are from the Himalayas. Rudraksha is also grown in Tamil Nadu,
Kerala, Karnataka but the Himalayan variety is of high quality. Indramala is the
costliest Rudraksha bead, which is worth 7.5 million rupees and is very rarely
found. | |
