It is a practical aid for daily chanting and travel, not a substitute for the mala itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat You Receive\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne gomukhi jaap bag, large enough for a typical 108-bead mala\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsually cotton or a similar cloth, often in a saffron, red, or similar puja colour; exact fabric, colour, and whether a zip or sakshi counter is included will be confirmed when the bag is sourced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mala is not included with this listing unless later offered as a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use \/ Process\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace your mala inside the bag, slip your hand in so you can turn one bead at a time, and keep the guru bead from being crossed, according to your practice.
