There are many Rudrakshas available in the market, but it can be difficult to determine whether they are real or fake. Often, people end up purchasing fake Rudrakshas, believing them to be original. To avoid this mistake, know how one can identify whether the Rudraksha is fake or original.
The Rudraksha maala is most commonly associated with Lord Shiva. Various types of Rudraksha, such as Panchmukhi and Ekmukhi Rudraksha, are available in the market, and most of them come from Nepal.
How to Identify Real Rudraksha
The card that accompanies each Rudraksha serves as a guarantee and proof of lab testing. A barcode is included on the card, which, when scanned, provides complete information about the Rudraksha, such as its weight in grams.
In an interview with Local 18, vendor Shubham mentioned that all the Rudraksha he sells is sourced from Nepal and undergoes lab testing in Haridwar before being sold. He ensures that only thoroughly verified Rudrakshas are offered to customers.
If you are looking for authentic Rudraksha, you can visit Shubham Shringar Kendra, located at Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura. When the Local18 team spoke to the shop owner, Shubham, about the purity of Panchmukhi Rudraksha, he explained that it is verified through lab testing in Haridwar.
