There is always a question in the mind of the believer or wearer that how many Rudraksha should be worn and at which part of the body it should be worn to get better and effective results.
There are basically two approaches of wearing the Rudraksha either by consulting the epics or by consulting any priest or on previous experience of any friend or relative or family members.
