This has resulted in a large number of Rudraskha like round one mukhis and other being faked in huge number of amounts and often sold in at a higher price. The moonshaped one mukhi is the common of the one mukhiRudraksha and not as rare as the one round mukhi yet they are sold at staggering high price.
