much information available on it. I was told that these beads also have similar

power like Rudraksha. In Puranas, there is also a Mantra which mentions that

Bhadraksha also have power similar to Rudraksha. I personally feel that the

Bhadraksha mentioned in this mantra is Elaeocarpus tuberculatus. The most

interesting part of the story about flat beads is that, the most popularly sold

'Cashew Nut Shaped One Mukhi' is nothing but, a morphological variation under

the species Elaeocarpus tuberculatus. The flat beads are treated as Bhadraksha

and 'Crescent shaped One Mukhi beads' are praised as the most rare One Mukhi.

In cashewnut shape, two mukhi beads are also reported. Elaeocarpus

tuberculatus is commonly found in forests of Western Ghats of the South India.

It is reported from Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and

Kerala. It is also reported from Andaman and Nicobar. This species is not

reported from Nepal. Thanking you and with best wishes, Chandrashekhar
