Tulasi Habba Celebration@MH
“Let’s be a panda! He’s black, he’s white and he is Asian!.
Tulasi came out of the
ocean as a younger sister of Lakshmi. She too was devoted to Lord Vishnu and
wanted to marry him. But Lakshmi who was already married to him did not like
the idea and cursed her to become a plant. Thus the Tulasi plant was born. But
the all merciful Lord Vishnu took pity and fulfilling her wish declared that when
he will be in the form of a Saligrama, found in most temples and houses, she
will remain close to him in the form of a Tulasi leaf. Therefore even today a Saligrama
will have a Tulasi leaf along with it. In front of every Hindu home there will
be a Tulasi Katte in which a plant grows round the year.
Although the prayers are offered to Tulasi everyday by watering the plant in the morning and lighting an oil lamp before it in the evening, on Kartika Shukla Dwadashi there will be an annual Tulasi Pooja in the evening when the Tulasi Katte will be beautifully decorated with clay lamps.

The pedestal on which the
Tulasi was planted was decorated grandly, crackers were burst, devotional songs
were sung and delicious food savoured.
