Karungali is the Tamil name for ebony. The karungali here is turned and polished, not stained, and silver or gold capped strands say so in the title.

STAINED OR SOLID

The one check worth doing

Most of what is sold as karungali is a lighter wood stained black. Scratch it on the inside of the bead hole.

Check Real ebony Stained wood
Scratch inside the hole Black underneath Brown or pale underneath
In water Sinks Usually floats
Smell when warmed Faint, woody Varnish or chemical
Weight Dense and cool Light

THE SHANI PAIRING

Why karungali turns up in Saturday practice

Worn through Sade Sati and Shani dhaiya, and on Saturdays. That is what the practice prescribes, and it has for centuries. The wood is ebony, black all the way through.

Your mala is step one of five.

The tradition never stopped at the count. Add the bracelet on your wrist, the chalisa you read, the guard at your door and the plant that pulls prosperity home. See what changes when all five work together.

QUESTIONS

Before you order a mala

Is karungali the same as ebony?

Yes. Karungali is the Tamil name for the wood.

Does it need oiling?

No. Keep it dry. Oil darkens the thread, not the wood.

Can it get wet?

Briefly. Do not soak it, and do not wear it in the shower.

Why do the capped strands cost more?

The silver or gold caps on every bead are most of the cost.
