A mala necklace is a string of beads used primarily in spiritual and meditative practices, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is traditionally made of 108 beads , although other variations exist with 27 or 54 beads .

Meditation and Mantra Recitation : Each bead is counted when repeating a mantra or prayer.
Energy and Well-being : Often made with natural stones or sacred wood (such as sandalwood or rudraksha), it is believed to bring energetic benefits.
Spiritual and fashion accessory : Having become popular, it is also worn as jewelry for its aesthetics and symbolic meaning.

The mala usually ends with a large bead called a "guru bead" and a tassel or pendant that symbolizes the completion of the practice.
