From non-destructive digital X-Ray radiology to microscopic surface morphology and certified multi-bead mala dossiers—explore our authentic scientific testing services trusted across India and worldwide.
Non-destructive high-penetration digital X-Ray imaging penetrates the hard wooden shell to inspect internal seed locules, expose artificial glue joints, carved fake lines, and embedded lead or mercury beads with zero bead damage.
High-magnification microscopic examination of the surface spines, natural ridges, pedicel root, and central bore hole to scientifically verify authentic botanical growth vs machine-made or hand-carved imitators.
Every tested bead receives an official tamper-proof laboratory report featuring exact calibrated weight (grams), millimeter dimensions, macro photo, X-Ray locule plate, and encrypted QR validation code.
Comprehensive certification for complete sacred malas—including 1 to 14 Mukhi Siddh Malas, Indra Malas (1 to 21 Mukhi), and Kanthas. Every single bead in the holy garland is individually scanned and certified.
Hydrostatic specific gravity testing separates authentic biological *Elaeocarpus* woody structures from plastic casts, crushed wood powder moldings, chemical polymers, and synthetic resin counterfeits.
