Japamala

---

A Japa mala, or prayer beads, is commonly used across religions like Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Shinto, to perform Japa. A Japa mala usually consists of 108 beads. Japmala is used to chant shlokas or mantras or god's name for the specified number of times. 

According to ancient teachings, repeating a name or a verse over and over again, specifically 108 times, helps calm an agitated mind. Hence the japmala consists of 108 beads. At times an extra bead is added to help with the count.
