The rudraksha tree grows in crevices, not on plain ground. Its leaves resemble

those

of tamarind or nux vomica but are longer. Annually it yields one to two thousand

fruits. The yatis in the Himalayas survive only on these fruits. These fruits

are

also ...called fruits of nectar (amrutphal). If eaten, they curb thirst.

The fruits ripen on the tree and fall during winter. Then the seeds in it dry

up. Each

fruit has fifteen to sixteen seeds (that is rudrakshas). The more the number of

seeds, the smaller is their size and the less is their cost. Instead of using a

small

rudraksha solitarily, several small rudrakshas are strung together along with a

large one. A rudraksha has a natural opening from one side to the other. It need

not be created. This opening throughout its length is called a vahini (channel).

A

rudraksha is reddish in colour with yellow stripes and and is flat like a fish.

On one

side it has an open mouth.
