Tulsi, considered sacred in every Hindu household, is worshipped as a mother. According to the Puranas, Tulsi Mata is regarded as the wife of Lord Vishnu, and Goddess Lakshmi resides in her. Worshipping Tulsi at home is believed to bring prosperity and blessings, but Vastu and astrology emphasize following specific rules during Tulsi Puja to ensure positive results.

Key Guidelines for Tulsi Puja

1. Offer water to Tulsi daily
Water should be offered to Tulsi Mata every day during worship. Homes that follow this practice are believed to attract Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings and Lord Vishnu’s grace.

2. Avoid offering water on certain days
Water should not be offered on Sundays and Ekadashi, and it is also advised not to water Tulsi at night. Doing so is considered inauspicious.

3. Bath before touching Tulsi
Vastu Shastra emphasizes that Tulsi leaves should only be touched after taking a bath. This ensures purity and respect during worship.

4. Do not pluck leaves in the evening
Evening is considered Tulsi Mata’s resting time. Plucking leaves during this period is discouraged, as it is seen as inauspicious.

By following these simple rules, devotees can ensure that Tulsi Puja brings prosperity, peace, and divine blessings to their home.
