A Maala Counter is a small device used to keep track of the number of repetitions during prayer or meditation with a mala (prayer beads). It typically consists of a small, cylindrical or round counter, often made of wood, metal, or plastic, that can be attached to a mala. The user increments the counter each time they complete a mantra or prayer cycle, ensuring they maintain their intended number of recitations. It helps in focusing on the spiritual practice without the distraction of counting manually.
