A japa bag, also called a bead bag or chanting bag, keeps your Tulsi japa mala clean and protected while you chant. It lets you chant comfortably at home, in the temple or on a journey.

Our Japa Bag Guide

Read our full guide to learn what to look for and how to use one. In short, a good one has a soft, breathable fabric, a finger hole for chanting with your hand inside, and enough room for a standard-size mala.

How to Use One

First, place your mala inside and put your hand through the finger hole. Then chant your rounds, using the counter section to keep track. Finally, put the mala back in the bag and keep it in a clean place. Moreover, it makes a thoughtful gift for a new devotee.
