Buying a genuine 1 mukhi
It is among the rarest beads, so genuine ones are scarce and expensive. Treat bargain "1 mukhi" listings with great caution: many are altered or are other seeds. The crescent-shaped (chandrakar) form is the traditional one, and a round form from other regions is sold under the same name, so ask exactly which type is being offered.
A mukhi is a natural ridge on the seed, never carved. Read how the mukhi system works.
