• 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 is a spiritual tool to align and balance these states, encouraging holistic growth and unity in thought, emotion, and action during meditation or rituals.

In ancient literature, there is a description of the different bhavas of pavitra. Kesri colored pavitra represents satvik bhava, white and red represent rajas bhava, green colored is tamas bhava and sky blue is nirguna bhava. The Five color Pavitra represents all the bhavas.

Together, these hues represent a well-rounded method of spiritual practice that leads the follower through a range of spiritual and emotional experiences.
• 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.
