- Price Changes: Prices are subject to change without notice due to market conditions, supply chain factors, and procurement costs. Prices given on the website are subject to change without notice year on year as the price of the product varies due to availability of stock, supply chain, weather, shipping routes, quality of product and procurement costs from very remote villages and hilly regions of Nepal. In the last 7-8 years prices have increased drastically due to short supply and huge demand of Original Nepali Rudraksha’s.

It is mandatory to add insurance on all products above INR ₹ 2,500/- ($33) value in India / overseas to a maximum value up to INR ₹4,76,190/- ($5800) as the products have very nominal margins due to high prices and rare commodities and this is the maximum value insured from our delivery partner.

We will have to check with our shipping partners before dispatch every time. Any broken items must be insured to qualify for an exchange. Clarification: Please check before ordering mercury products from our website. Mercury (Parad) products are not allowed on most air cargo. If we see any hurdles before shipping to other countries we may process your complete refund within 10-15 working days to the original payment method. Mercury products (Parad Shivalingam, Nandi Figurine, Shri Yantra, Parad Gutika) are very soft and made out of liquid mercury after shodhan for months in the juice of belpatra and using bhasma of silver, any mishandling during shipping or after purchase due to slippage can break the product. We do not take any responsibility for breaking if the product is not insured during shipping. If your product is insured we will exchange the mercury products within 15 days of shipping if broken for an extra fee of exchange of $50 (shipping and handling charges). This policy is only applicable to International Orders. For Indian / Nepal / Tibet customers the extra exchange fees will be decided on the value of the purchase item for which they will have to enquire within 4 days of receiving the package. If any Indian / Nepal / Tibet customers will be asking for an exchange after 4 days of receiving a mercury product consignment the product shall not be exchanged as any concentrated mercury product cannot be remanufactured as per Hindu shastra and if you break the product by slipping it, it is damage done to the article by yourself. We request you to please make a video of the box opening for all Shivalingams and Mercury Products.

However, post shipping if any such goods are held by customs at the port of the country where it was supposed to be delivered we may not take any responsibility of refund or getting a customs clearance. You are requested to contact the shipping partner with helpline numbers and Airway Bill Number (AWB) / Shipping Consignment Number to help you get custom clearances, although as you place an order via the website you can track a shipment via tracking link with tracking code for ease of getting delivery/shipping status via our shipping partner portal.
