12 Mukhi Rudraksha: Benefits for Career and Leadership, Price and How to Wear
Published Updated Rishi VermaShare
Quick answer: 12 Mukhi (Dwadash Mukhi) Rudraksha has twelve natural lines and represents Surya, the Sun god, shining through the twelve Adityas. It is traditionally worn for leadership, confidence, authority, career growth and recognition, and is often called the affordable alternative to 1 Mukhi because both are Sun beads. Its mantra is Om Kraum Sraum Raum Namah.
