tulasi puja
Tulasi is considered as a best sacred plant in Hinduism. Hindus regard it as the manifestation of the goddess Tulasi. She is the incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi. The offering of tulasi leaves is compulsory in the worship of Lord Vishnu.
Many Hindus have the habit of planting Tulasi plants in their home. Tulasi Devi is also known by various names such as Vrinda, Vaishnavi and Haripriya.
Tulasi was married to Jalandhara, a powerful demon. Jalandhara had done lot of bad deeds and gave disturbance to the entire universe. Finally, he was killed by Lord Shiva.
After that, Lord Vishnu appeared before Tulasi, and asked her to return to“VAIKUNTA” as Goddess Lakshmi.
It is believed that the Gandaki River in Nepal is the AMSHA of MaTulasi, and contained the features of MaTulasi.
Tulasi plant is also regarded as the holiest among all other plants. The Tulasi plant is regarded as a best medicinal herb, and it is used mainly for curing cough and cold, fever and also used as an Ayurveda medicine.

And also all the negativity of thoughts will be removed by worshipping the sacred Tulasi plant. Good fortunes will occur in the life, and all the problems occurring in our everyday life will be immediately wiped out. Goddess Lakshmi will permanently stay in our house and we will get sufficient wealth in our life.
On 25th December of every year, the festival for tulasi is celebrated in a grand manner mostly in north India.
