Authentic Indian Old Mountain Sandalwood Mala – 108 Sacred Beads
$169.00 – $196.00Price range: $169.00 through $196.00
The Scent of Stillness
Unlike artificially scented woods, true Old Mountain Sandalwood gets its signature, long-lasting aroma from decades of natural growth. As you wear it, the wood reacts to your body heat, releasing subtle notes of warm earth and sweet cream—an invisible aura that centers you throughout the day.
A Tactile Journey of 108
108 is the most sacred number in Eastern philosophy, representing the journey to inner clarity. Whether you choose the delicate 6mm beads (perfect for wrapping as a bracelet) or the substantial 8mm beads (ideal for a traditional necklace), each bead is smoothly hand-polished. As you slide them through your fingers, the natural oils form a beautiful, deepening patina over time.
Care Note: Keep away from water and harsh chemicals to preserve the natural oils. Gently rubbing the beads with a dry cotton cloth will enhance their natural gloss and deepen the aroma.
Eliot’s Note: I spent three days navigating the bustling incense markets of Mysore before an old vendor taught me the true secret of Old Mountain Sandalwood. When you hold these beads, notice the subtle, creamy weight—that’s the signature of decades-old natural oils that machines simply cannot replicate.

Genuine sandalwood. The scent is very subtle at first but warms up beautifully against the skin. It has that authentic milky note, not artificial perfume. Very happy with the quality.

Beautiful beads. I use them for my morning japa meditation and then wrap them around my wrist for the rest of the day. The smell is incredibly calming ♀️ Shipping took about a week to California but well packaged. ✨

The quality of the wood is excellent. You can instantly feel the smooth, natural finish—no cheap varnish or lacquer. I’ve been wearing it daily for about two weeks now, and the beads are already darkening slightly and picking up a nice sheen from natural skin oils. My only note is that if you have thicker wrists like me, wrapping it four times is a bit snug at first, but the cord has settled nicely. Scent is warm, woody, and classic old mountain sandalwood. Worth the price.

Bought this as a birthday gift for my husband who practices yoga. The presentation was lovely, came in a nice protective pouch with a personalized note. He loves the heavy wood grain and the grounding aroma. Will definitely buy from this shop again.

This is the real deal. I made the mistake of buying a cheap $30 ‘sandalwood’ bracelet on Amazon before and it smelled like chemical spray. This one from Sidera has a completely natural, comforting scent that doesn’t fade. Beads are perfectly uniform too.
