The Tulsi wood is used to make the Tulsi Mala. There are around 108 beads strung together with a strong string and the beads are set in a loop. There is one big bead which represents Lord Krishna. There is one more bead which is the 109th bead which is known as Sumeru. This bead is made up of some other metal or a Tulsi bead which is bigger in size compared to the rest of 108 beads. When someone counts and starts chanting, he counts from the bead that is adjoining Sumeru bead. This is how he completes an entire round of counting. Once the first round is completed, the second round starts but it is counted in the opposite direction.
