1960s

Late Mr. Balaram Khatiwada

In the late 1960s, Mr. Balaram Khatiwada who used to be a priest at the Pashupatinath temple started Gupta Rudraksha as a shop which sold flowers, Rudraksha and Saligrams to the devotees who visited Pashupatinath temple.What differentiated Gupta Rudraksha from other vendors is our founding father's commitment to authenticity and his way of treating customers as family members.

Cultural Expansion

Till this date, we carry this culture and have increased the size of our family to thousands of customers from more than 160 countries. Furthermore, Mr. Balaram being a vedic scholar himself believed that each Rudraksha must be energized with the touch of Lord Pashupatinath to deliver maximum benefit to the wearer.
