Does anyone here have more information of this rare rudraksha?

 

Please share.

 

The news piece says:

" Rare rudraksh

 

Tiruvannamalai: A huge and rare `Ekamuga Rudraksh' that weighs about 200 gram,

was found among the valuables stored in the temple treasury at Sri

Arunachaleshwarar temple in Tiruvannamalai.

 

Authorities, who reviewed the stocks of valuables , were amazed by its size,

which was slightly bigger than a cricket ball. The rudraksh, decorated with

silver `poon,' was donated in 2006 by a devotee. Temple Joint Commissioner

Pugazhendiran said that the rudraksh would decorate `utsava moorthi' in

`pradosham' days. "
