🕉️ Description
A stylish and meaningful Om Namah Shivaya Stainless Steel Kada, featuring the sacred ॐ नमः शिवाय mantra beautifully laser engraved around the outer circumference.
The R8 combines a simple smooth Kara design with a contrasting black finish and permanent engraved mantra, creating an attractive spiritual bracelet suitable for everyday wear, meditation, Puja, religious occasions or gifting.
The inner surface is plain and smooth for comfortable wear, while the outer surface carries the engraved devotional inscription.
The underlying material is stainless steel, giving the Kara strength and good resistance to everyday corrosion.
Each piece may show very small manufacturing and finishing differences.
🙏 Om Namah Shivaya – ॐ नमः शिवाय
Om Namah Shivaya is one of the best-known mantras associated with Lord Shiva.
It is commonly translated in devotional contexts as:
“I bow to Shiva.”
The mantra is widely recited in Hindu spiritual practice, prayer and meditation.
Having ॐ नमः शिवाय engraved around the Kara makes it a meaningful religious accessory as well as a decorative bracelet.
⚫ Black Finish & Permanent Engraving
The Kara has a decorative black surface coating over stainless steel.
With regular wear, friction against clothing, desks, jewellery or other objects can gradually cause portions of the black finish to fade or wear away.
If this happens, the natural silver-coloured stainless steel underneath may become visible.
This is normal wear of a surface coating and does not mean that the bracelet itself is damaged.
Important
The mantra is laser engraved into the surface rather than simply printed on top.
Therefore, the engraving should remain present even if some of the black coating gradually wears with use.
✨ Stainless Steel Construction
This Kara is made from stainless steel, offering:
- Strong and durable construction
- Smooth inner surface
- Good resistance to everyday corrosion
- Easy everyday maintenance
- Solid substantial feel
- Suitable for regular wear
As with any jewellery, keeping the bracelet clean and dry will help preserve its appearance.
📐 Kara Size Guide – Please Measure Before Ordering
All variation sizes refer to the approximate INNER DIAMETER of the Kara in centimetres.
For the most reliable sizing:
- Take a Kara or rigid bangle that already fits comfortably.
- Place it flat on a ruler.
- Measure straight across the centre.
- Measure from inside edge to inside edge.
- Select the closest available size from the variation menu.
Alternative Hand Measurement
Make your hand as narrow as possible as though putting on a bangle and measure across the widest part of your knuckles.
Using an existing correctly fitting Kara is still the most reliable method.
Measurement Tolerance
Please allow approximately ±2mm due to normal manufacturing and measuring differences.
Please check your size carefully before ordering to reduce unnecessary exchanges.

- Avoid unnecessary rubbing against hard surfaces
- Remove before using harsh household chemicals
- Avoid prolonged contact with perfumes and cleaning products
- Wipe clean with a soft dry cloth

Gradual wear to black coating on high-contact areas is normal with regular use.

This is a manufactured stainless steel Kara with a decorative black surface finish.
Small manufacturing marks, tiny scratches, polishing marks, minor joint/finishing marks and slight differences between individual pieces can occur.
