Hand Tally Counter

Counting to 108 on your fingers works right up until the phone rings.

This is a thumb-press counter that holds its place. Press once per naam, and the number stays exactly where you left it when you set it down. Turn the dial to reset when the mala is finished.

Use it for

• Daily japa — 108, 1008, or whatever your sankalp asks for
• Long anushthans where losing count means starting the round again
• Elderly parents who find mala beads hard on the fingers
• Temple visits and yatra, where a mala is one more thing to keep track of

Good to know

• No battery and nothing to charge — it works out of the packet, forever
• Thumb press with a reset dial; the reading holds when you stop
• Adjustable finger strap; roughly 10.5 cm, 49 g
• Plastic body, so it survives being dropped on a stone floor
