Rudraksha beads are counted by their mukhi, the natural faces on the seed, and each mukhi is traditionally associated with a graha and a deity. This looks at which planet your chart supports least across the birth chart and the Navamsa, names the mukhi that graha is associated with, and lists the full mapping so you can see where the recommendation came from.
One mukhi is associated with the Sun, two with the Moon, three with Mars, four with Mercury, five with Jupiter, six with Venus, seven with Saturn, eight with Rahu and nine with Ketu. The five mukhi is by far the most common bead and the one most malas are strung from, which is also why it is the least likely to be misrepresented when you buy one.
By the same measure the rest of the site uses to judge a planet: its dignity in the birth chart and in the Navamsa together. The graha that scores lowest is the one your chart supports least, and that is the mukhi named at the top. Your lagna lord is given alongside it, because some traditions recommend supporting the chart lord rather than the weakest planet. Both are shown rather than one being presented as the answer.
That wearing a Rudraksha supports a practice — that it is a devotional object worn with a mantra and an intention, not a device that produces outcomes. The classical sources put conduct, discipline and honest effort well above anything that can be bought, and they are consistent about it. A bead is a reminder of a commitment, and it works to the extent that the commitment does.
Rare mukhis command high prices, which means rare mukhis are the ones most often faked. A genuine five mukhi costs very little. If someone tells you that your chart demands an expensive bead and that your problems will continue without it, that is a sales technique and not astrology. No reading on this site will ever tell you that, and this page recommends nothing you need to buy from anyone.

The tradition maps each mukhi to a graha, and this page names the one your chart supports least, together with your lagna lord. The five mukhi, associated with Jupiter, is the general-purpose bead and is what most malas are made from.
Most traditions prescribe a simple cleansing and a mantra before first wearing, which you can do yourself. It does not require an expensive ceremony, and anyone charging heavily for one is selling the ceremony rather than prescribing it.
No, and it is not claimed to. It is a devotional support for a practice, not a treatment. Nothing worn substitutes for a doctor, and nothing worn substitutes for the work in front of you.
No. Higher mukhis are rarer, which makes them expensive and frequently faked, but rarity is not potency. The five mukhi is the most widely worn bead in the tradition for good reason.
