<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9735105, member: 2844&quot;]Malas are Hindu and Buddhist prayer beads, just like rosaries are Catholic prayer beads. So they are not the same as tasbihs.</p><p><br /></p><p>One way to tell the difference is that malas have a different central or main bead(s) from tasbihs.</p><p>Tasbihs have a long main bead that looks like an elegant, slender vase. Malas have a shorter &#039;Buddha&#039; bead, that resembles a stylised seated Buddha. Both tasbihs and malas can have a large round bead with three holes as a transition from the loop to the main bead.</p><p>Tasbihs often have a decorated metal or bead tassle on the end of the main bead. Malas often have a thread tassle or simply knotted thread ends.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
