• Pavithra mala is made to adorn deities, mostly Perumal (Sri Vaishnava deities), as per agama requirements.
• Made of cotton, Pavitra malas have 180 knots tied, similar to the 108 knots in a Japamala.
• The mala serves as a spiritual tool to align and balance these states, encouraging holistic growth and unity in thought, emotion, and action during meditation or rituals.

In spiritual philosophy, Rajas Bhava, which represents the mode of passion, activity, and restlessness, is traditionally linked to the red-colored Pavitra Mala, a sacred garland. Red is a hue that represents life, energy, and strong emotions in many spiritual disciplines. It is said that wearing the Pavitra Mala awakens a dynamic force that stimulates one's inner impulses and behavior. This association with Rajas Bhava represents a person's involvement in material obligations and endeavors. Though it energizes, if it isn't counterbalanced by other spiritual attributes like sattva (purity) and tamas (inertia), which stand for harmony and calm, it can also result in attachment and distraction.

• The tradition of Pavitra mala has been passed down from ancient times:
  - In Satyuga, the Pavitra was jewel-embedded.
  - In Tretayuga, it was made of gold.
  - In Dwaparyuga, it was silk.
  - In Kaliyuga, cotton is used for offerings.
• It is believed that on Pavitra Ekadasi, Prabhu accepts the Pavitra from devotees of all types, bestowing them with the corresponding Bhakti Bhava.
• It is presented to deities, Yaga kundams, and Kalasam during Pavithra Utsavams (annual cleansing ceremonies) or Samprokshanam (Kumbabhishekam).
• Pavithra mala is distributed to devotees after the pooja as prasadam.
• A Sri Vaishnava can wear the Pavithra mala during Aradhana, as one of the malas.
