Kanthi mala
A ''kanthi mala'', or simply ''kanthi'', is a necklace worn by some adherents of Hinduism.
==In Vaishnavism==
Followers of Gaudiya Vaishnavism wear ''kanthi malas'' made of ''Ocimum tenuiflorum'' (known in Hinduism as tulsi or ''tulasī''). Most Vaishnavas will be given their ''kanthi'' by their guru at the time of diksha, or spiritual initiation.
It is said Krishna – who is revered as ''svayam bhagavān'', or the monotheistic God, in Gaudiya Vaishnavism – was very fond of tulsi, and as such the plant is worshipped as ''"Tulasī devi"'' by followers of Krishna.〔 Tulsi devi is considered to be "one of Krishna's most intimate servants"〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Govinda )〕 and provide protection to his devotees, and as such, Gaudiya Vaishnavas will try to avoid removing their tulsi ''kanthis'' under any circumstances.
