Description of the Event:
Tulsi Vivah is a significant Hindu festival symbolizing the ceremonial wedding of Tulsi Devi (a holy basil plant) with Lord Vishnu, often represented as the Shaligram stone or a branch of the Amla tree. The event marks the end of the monsoon season and the start of the wedding season in Hindu tradition.
वृन्दा वृन्दावनी विश्वपूजिता विश्वपावनी।
पुष्पसार नन्दिनी च तुलसी कृष्ण जीवनी।।
Vṛndā Vṛndāvanī Viśvapūjitā Viśvapāvanī |
Puṣpasāra Nandinī cha Tulsī Kṛṣṇa-jīvanī ||
The verse captures her supreme spiritual significance, especially as the embodiment of purity and devotion. She is revered not only in Vrindavan but across the universe, sanctifying everything she touches. Being Krishna's beloved, she symbolizes the path to bhakti and eternal union with the Lord.

The Sacred Story of Tulsi & Shaligram
A Divine Connection
Her unwavering devotion attracted the attention of Vishnu himself, who took the form of Shaligram—a sacred black stone. Tulsi was destined to become one with Vishnu, but her earthly form and attachments made it a journey filled with emotional trials.
The Devotion of Tulsi
Tulsi, a pious devotee, was blessed with unmatched beauty and purity. However, her destiny was tied to a challenging path of devotion and love. Known for her unshakeable faith, she devoted her life to worshiping Lord Vishnu, seeking his divine grace.
Eternal Union
As the story goes, Tulsi's mortal form transformed into the sacred Tulsi plant, while Vishnu remained as the Shaligram stone. Their union symbolizes eternal love, devotion, and divine connection. Even today, the Tulsi plant and Shaligram stone are worshipped together, symbolizing the inseparable bond of spirit and divinity.
