The MAYAPURI Bhagwa Gomaukhi Japa Bag/Cotton Chanting Bag with Sakshi Mala Counter is a traditional Hindu japa bag made of soft, durable cotton fabric. It is a saffron color, which is considered to be a sacred color in Hinduism. The bag has a gomukhi (cow's mouth) opening at the top, which is said to represent the beginning of the divine path. The bag also comes with a sakshi mala, which is a 16-bead counter that is used to keep track of the number of japa mantras that have been chanted.
