Worshipping Tulsi has special importance. Tulsi marriage is also performed on the day of Deuthani Ekadashi in the month of Kartik. Here we are telling you that if you also have Tulsi in your house, then you should know about some rules. Actually, Tulsi is considered as a form of Goddess Lakshmi in the scriptures, therefore Tulsi must be worshipped every day. Water should be offered to Tulsi every morning. It is best to light a ghee lamp under the Tulsi plant in the evening. If you cannot do it daily, then on Ekadashi, Purnima, you must light a ghee lamp in Tulsi in the evening.
Now let us talk about which day water should be offered to Tulsi. According to storyteller Devkinandan Thakur, water should not be offered to Tulsi on Sunday and Ekadashi. He tells that Tulsi Mata fasts on these days and offering water can break her fast. Apart from this, Tulsi leaves should not be plucked on Ekadashi, Sunday and Purnima. You can also use them by plucking them a day before.
If the basil in your house has dried up, you should not throw it away, you can keep its wood safely. Basil should never be touched with dirty hands and its leaves should not be plucked in the evening. Basil leaves should always be plucked in the morning. Offer basil leaves in the worship of Lord Vishnu and Krishna. Without them, the offering is not accepted. Basil leaves never become stale, old basil leaves can also be used in worship.
