Rudraksha enjoys special importance
The plant of Rudraksha is regarded as a symbol of faith. It is considered a sacred tree. Garlands of its fruit are also worn. It is widely believed that Rudraksha originated from the water drops in the eyes of Lord Shankar. Rudraksha is the boon of Shiva, which was revealed by Lord Shankar to overcome the physical sorrows of the world. Wearing Rudraksha gives positive energy. Rudraksh is usually worn by the devotees as a protective shield and also for chanting the Om Namah Shiva Mantra. Its seeds are mainly used as organic ornaments and garlands in India and Nepal. It is also believed that Rudraksha is as valuable as semi-precious stones – Window no News
