Rudraksha Recommendations

Returns Rudraksha bead recommendations per planet. Each planet maps to a specific mukhi (face count) with presiding deity, exact beej mantra, recommended metal, wearing day, and classical notes including the important distinction that mukhi assignments are attributed to deities in tradition — planetary correspondence is traditional astrological synthesis. Pass ?planet=Jupiter for a single planet. Omit ?planet to get all nine planets.
