Merging Tradition with Tech – The Tulsi Mala Bead Making Device

In an inventive blend of tradition and modern engineering, Harraj Industries has brought the Tulsi Mala Bead Making Device into the manufacturing spotlight—based on an innovative design transferred from IIT Delhi’s RuTAG (Rural Technology Action Group). This device mechanizes the artisanal craft of crafting wooden Tulsi beads (5–25 mm in diameter) by precisely turning and drilling them using a motorized tool, significantly improving speed and uniformity.


Designed with usability in mind, the device reduces noise, vibration, and motor heating issues—critical features for artisans working long hours. It streamlines bead production while maintaining craftsmanship, offering an accessible and durable tool for small businesses or traditional craftsmen. Harraj Industries’ adoption of this technology showcases how smart manufacturing can honor cultural heritage while boosting productivity and sustainability.
