12 Mukhi Rudraksha and Sun
Sun governs soul, father, authority, vitality, ego, government. When Sun is weak or afflicted in a chart — for example during its dasha — this bead is the traditional non-gemstone support. See Sun in the houses for how Sun behaves by placement.
Real vs fake — checking 12 Mukhi Rudraksha
Because the 12 Mukhi Rudraksha is rare, fakes are common: carved extra lines, glued joints or a common bead re-cut. Insist on an X-ray or lab certificate before paying a premium.
A genuine bead has natural mukhi lines running from top to bottom, an uneven surface and firm weight.
