                                About Tulasi: The Tulsi is considered holy and is planted in a special planter called the Vrindavan.
   Its leaves are fragrant and cool. Its flowers bear seeds which fly with the wind to germinate everywhere.   The Tulsi leaf completes a gift given with love and purifies all food and water.The presence of tulsi plant symbolizes the religious bent of a Hindu family.
A Hindu household is considered incomplete if it doesn't have a tulsi plant in the courtyard.
Many families have the tulsi planted in a specially built structure, which has images of deities installed on all four sides, and an alcove for a small earthen oil lamp.
Some households can even have up to a dozen tulsi plants on the verandah or in the garden forming a "tulsi-van" or "tulsivrindavan" - a miniature basil forest.
