🚩🌿 Tulsi or the basil plant is considered highly sacred in Hinduism and is one of the most worshipped plants. It holds a great significance not only in rituals but also holds medicinal values.

🚩🌿Tulsi Vivah or the marriage of Tulsi with Bhagwan Vishnu or His Bhagwan Krishna Avatar is celebrated on the Prabodhini Ekadashi, the eleventh day of Shukla Paksha or the twelfth day in the Hindu month of Karthika.

🚩🌿 The day signifies the end of the monsoon month and the beginning of the Hindu wedding season.

🚩🌿A pious girl named Vrinda born in the Asura clan to Kalanemi who was a great devotee of Bhagwan Vishnu. Her husband Jalandhar, the King of asuras, became invincible by defeating the Devas, due to the penance of his pious wife Vrinda.

🚩🌿Bhagwan Vishnu then took the form of Jalandhar & went in front of Vrinda who invited him to sit beside her. When Vrinda touched Jalandhar’s feet she recognised that it was not Jalandhar.

🚩🌿Bhagwan Vishnu then took His real form which angered Vrinda as she did not expect Bhagwan Vishnu to cheat her this way and break her chastity.

🚩🌿Vrinda angrily cursed Bhagwan Vishnu to turn into a stone. But when the Devas requested Vrinda to not turn Bhagwan Vishnu into a stone, she reduced her curse.

🚩🌿She said that 𝐁𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐧𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐬 “𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦”; 𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐧𝐮.

🚩🌿She ended her life as her purity was maligned which resulted in the killing of the Asura Jalandhar. Bhagwan Vishnu was pleased with her devotion.
