The Panch Mukh Shape
Ancient texts call this the “Dev Guru Rudraksha,” named for its connection to Brihaspati, the Guru of the Gods. Unlike other beads that target a single trait, the 5 Mukhi is considered complete in itself — capable of correcting the effects of all nine planets when worn with faith. Its five natural lines correspond to Shiva’s five faces, said to guard the wearer against untimely death and restore a mind that has grown restless or fearful.
Every 5 Mukhi Rudraksha at Shaastree is lab certified by Arihant Gems Testing Lab (AGTL), so you always know exactly what you’re wearing.

How to Identify an Original Piece
Fakes are common in this category. Here is what sets a genuine 1 Mukhi apart.
Genuine beads have five distinct, naturally-formed lines running from top to bottom. Since this is the most common Mukhi, it's also the most frequently faked — check spacing carefully.
Ask for a lab or X-ray certification report confirming the five lines are natural growth marks, not man-made cuts.
Surface should have a natural, slightly rough texture with visible pores overly smooth, waxed, or dyed beads are usually treated or fake.
Always buy from sellers who provide an authenticity certificate with each individual piece since 5 Mukhi is so common, uncertified sellers cut corners most here.
How to Wear Your Pendant
