Yes. Every Bambhole Rudraksha is lab tested by GJSPC, an independent third-party laboratory, and every bead has its own unique lab report number. You can verify that number yourself on the GJSPC website.

GJSPC, the Gem & Rudraksha Testing Laboratory in New Delhi. It is independent of Bambhole. Its reports can be checked at gjspc.in/ReportCheck.

Open gjspc.in/ReportCheck by typing the address yourself, enter the report number exactly as printed, and compare the result with your bead: identification, weight, dimensions, number of faces and origin. The weight should match to two decimal places.

Every Rudraksha is lab tested and has a report number. The printed report card is free on beads priced ₹1,000 or more, and costs ₹150 per bead below that.

Bambhole offers a lifetime money-back authenticity guarantee. If a recognised independent institution or professional finds that a product is not authentic, or that its material, natural origin or treatment differs from the description, you receive a full refund of everything you paid, including shipping, with no time limit.

Yes. Every Rudraksha receives touch energisation before dispatch: thorough cleaning, mantra japa, oiling, aromatic scenting and traditional rituals. Pooja and Pran Pratishtha are separate services and are not part of touch energisation.

Mukhi means face. It is the number of natural lines that run from one end of the bead to the other. A 5 Mukhi (Panch Mukhi) Rudraksha has five such lines.

Nepal Rudraksha are generally larger, with deep and clearly defined mukhi lines, and are popular as single beads and pendants. Indonesian (Java) Rudraksha are smaller and denser, which suits bracelets and malas.

Bead sizes are measured across the bead in millimetres. Smaller beads keep malas light, mid-size beads are comfortable in bracelets, and larger beads make a strong single bead or pendant. A bigger bead costs more but is not required for the bead to be meaningful.

Bambhole ships within India only.

No. The benefits linked to each mukhi are traditional beliefs. They are not medical claims or promises of a particular result, and a larger or more expensive bead does not mean greater spiritual benefit.
