The festival of Tulasi Vivah marks the symbolic marriage of Tulsi Devi (Holy Basil) and Lord Vishnu (in the form of Shaligram). Celebrated across India with devotion, this auspicious day bridges the earthly and divine realms, signifying the beginning of the Hindu wedding season after the four-month Chaturmas period.

In 2025, Tulasi Vivah will be celebrated on Sunday, November 2, 2025 (Dwadashi Tithi). Let’s explore the spiritual story, rituals, and astrological importance of this sacred festival.

📖 The Divine Story Behind Tulasi Vivah

According to the Padma Purana and Skanda Purana, Tulsi Devi was once Vrinda, a devoted wife of the demon king Jalandhar. Her unwavering devotion and chastity made Jalandhar invincible, even against the gods.

To restore balance, Lord Vishnu took the form of Jalandhar and deceived Vrinda. Upon realizing the truth, Vrinda cursed Vishnu to turn into a black stone (Shaligram) and then immolated herself in grief.

Moved by her devotion, Lord Vishnu blessed her, saying:

“O Vrinda, you shall be revered as Tulasi, the holiest of plants. Your presence will sanctify all homes, and I shall marry you every year on Ekadashi.”

Thus began the divine wedding of Tulsi and Vishnu, celebrated as Tulasi Vivah.
