What is the 7 Mukhi Rudraksha?
The 7 Mukhi Rudraksha is a sacred bead with seven natural lines or faces on its surface. It is also known as the ‘Saat Mukhi’ or Seven-Faced Rudraksha and it symbolizes the energy of Goddess Mahalakshmi, the goddess of wealth, prosperity, and fortune.
The 7 Mukhi Rudraksha is the manifestation of Saturn or Shani, which is the ruling planet of this Rudraksha. The 7 Mukhi Rudraksha is available in small, large, collector, and super collector sizes.
Saturn is the planet that characterizes discipline, karma, justice, and endurance. It represents the earth element and the color black. Saturn can bring hard work, responsibility, patience, and perseverance to one’s endeavors. However, it can also cause delay, obstruction, sorrow, and misery if it is afflicted or ill-placed.
The 7 Mukhi Rudraksha helps balance and harmonize the effects of Saturn in one’s horoscope. It can help overcome the challenges and obstacles that Saturn may bring, such as poverty, debt, disease, and litigation. It can also help enhance the positive qualities of Saturn, such as wealth, success, and longevity.

Story about the presiding deity:
Goddess Lakshmi is known for bestowing wealth and abundance.
When she was in Devlok, Lord Indra was resplendent and mighty as the king of Devatas. When he’s cursed for his arrogance and carelessness by the Sage Durvasa, Goddess Lakshmi leaves him, rendering him weak and without glory. She then graces the Naaglok as well as the lower world of the Asuras. The king of Asuras, Bali was blessed abundantly by her. When the quest for Amrut began, it was decided to churn the ocean.
Devas and Asuras saw her emerging from the ocean of milk amidst the churning. She promptly chose Lord Vishnu as her husband and went with him to Vaikuntha. In this place, she sat with her husband on the mighty Ananta Naag and displayed her Sthira (stable) form.
The Padma Purana states that seven mighty snakes live in the seven facets of the 7 Mukhi Rudraksha. Nagas/snakes are mighty elemental creatures. The wearer of this bead stays unaffected by poisoning of any kind because of the grace of these Nagas. Crimes like theft, adultery, and drug abuse amount to negative Karma and sins. This bead absolves the sins resulting from them.
