14 Mukhi Rudraksha (Deva Mani): Benefits, Price and Authenticity
Published Updated Rishi VermaShare
Quick answer: 14 Mukhi Rudraksha, known as Deva Mani (the divine gem), has fourteen natural lines and is associated with Lord Hanuman and Lord Shiva. It is ruled by Saturn (Shani) and is traditionally worn for intuition, sound decision-making, protection and steadiness during Saturn periods. Its mantra is Om Namah. Because it is valuable, it is often faked; always ask for an X-ray report.

14 Mukhi vs 7 Mukhi
Both are Saturn beads. 7 Mukhi is affordable and focused on prosperity; 14 Mukhi is rarer and focused on intuition and protection.
How to spot a fake 14 Mukhi
- 14 is often faked by carving extra lines into 11 to 13 Mukhi beads. Lines that are sharp, shallow or stop short are warning signs.
- Lines are close together; count under magnification at both ends with a pencil mark on the first line.
- Insist on an X-ray report showing 14 internal chambers and matching the bead's weight and size. See how to read a certificate.
- A Nepal 14 Mukhi offered for a few thousand rupees is almost certainly fake.
How to wear 14 Mukhi Rudraksha
On a Monday or Saturday morning after bathing, purify the bead, chant Om Namah or the Hanuman Chalisa and wear it in silver or gold at the neck (near the heart) or on the forehead during meditation. See How to Wear Rudraksha. Popular combinations: 14 + Gauri Shankar; 11 + 14 Mukhi.
