What is Tulsi Vivah
Tulsi Vivah is a symbolic wedding between a tulasi plant (personifying Lakshmi) and a shaligrama stone or an amla branch (personifying Vishnu). It marks the end of the monsoon and the start of the wedding season. It can be held between Prabodhini Ekadashi and Kartika Purnima; the exact day varies by region. (Source: Wikipedia, Tulasi Vivaha)
- At home, keep the tulsi spot clean with a lamp and flowers; ask the elders about your family's custom.
