Spiritual Significance of Tulsi Vivah
Tulsi Vivah is one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar. The Tulsi plant represents Goddess Lakshmi, and her marriage to Lord Vishnu (in his Shaligram form) symbolizes prosperity, love, and divine purity.
It is said that after Chaturmas — a four-month period during which auspicious ceremonies pause — Tulsi Vivah marks the resumption of all sacred and marital rituals. Performing or observing Tulsi Vivah removes negativity, attracts peace, and ensures happiness within the family.
People believe that offering prayers on this day helps them overcome obstacles, strengthens relationships, and brings long-lasting blessings of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu.
Mythological Story Behind Tulsi Vivah
According to Hindu scriptures, Tulsi Vivah originates from the legend of Vrinda Devi, a devoted wife of the demon king Jalandhar. Vrinda’s deep devotion made her husband invincible. To end his tyranny, Lord Vishnu disguised himself as Jalandhar and broke Vrinda’s penance.
When Vrinda realized the truth, she cursed Lord Vishnu to turn into a black stone — Shaligram. Afterward, she left her mortal body and transformed into the Tulsi plant. To honor her devotion and purity, Lord Vishnu promised to marry her every year in his Shaligram form. This divine wedding is what we celebrate today as Tulsi Vivah.
