A 2 Mukhi Rudraksha (Do Mukhi) is the bead of Unity and Togetherness. It represents the combined form of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, known as Ardhanarishvara (the half-male, half-female form).
While the 1 Mukhi is about the “Self” and “God,” the 2 Mukhi is about the relationship between two entities—whether that is husband and wife, business partners, or the mind and soul
Visual Aesthetics & Identification
-
The Shape: Unlike the 1 Mukhi (cashew shape), the 2 Mukhi is typically oval or elliptical.
-
The Lines: It features two natural grooves (clefts) running from the top to the bottom.
-
Varieties:
-
Nepal Variety: Larger, with deeper, more prominent lines. These are considered more powerful but are also more expensive.
-
Java (Indonesian) Variety: Smaller and smoother. These are popular for making comfortable jewelry like bracelets or long malas.
Spiritual & Astrological Significance
-
Ruling Deity: Ardhanarishvara. It symbolizes the balance between masculine and feminine energies.
-
Ruling Planet: The Moon (Chandra). Because the Moon governs emotions and the mind, this bead is the primary remedy for “Chandra Dosha” (weak moon in a birth chart).

Chakra Association: It is linked to the Swadhisthana (Sacral) Chakra, which governs creativity, relationships, and emotional fluidity.
