​How to Test the Authenticity of Tulsi Mala

One can run many tests to guarantee a tulsi mala is authentic. The water test is a basic one: since real Tulsi wood is lightweight and porous, putting the beads in a bowl of water should cause them float. Should the beads sink, either plastic or another material may have been used in their creation. Crushing or stroking a bead gently is part of the fragrance test; a real Tulsi Mala will have a gentle, natural basil-like perfume; a fake one will smell nothing or have a chemical odor. The texture test reveals originality since real Tulsi beads feel somewhat rough with natural grain patterns while fake ones are excessively smooth and too polished. The burning test is another approach; a synthetic bead will melt or emit a plastic scent whereas a small portion of a bead should smell mildly of woody and turn into ash. Finally, a fake Tulsi Mala keeps its color without any obvious alteration; an authentic Tulsi Mala changes color over time and has a somewhat darker tone from exposure to skin oils and air.

​Best Time to Wear Tulsi Mala

The most lucky days to wear a Tulsi Mala are Ekadashi, Purnima, or any Thursday. Ideally the mala should be worn facing east after morning prayers since this direction corresponds with positive spiritual energy.

Following these customs and preserving its purity will help the user to completely use the heavenly and healing properties of Tulsi Mala.
