I used to keep Tulsi at home more for home remedies than religious purpose, but somehow I could never take care of it due to frequent travels etc.
Your words compliment the picture beautifully, Vinitha. Good to see you back π
I don’t know if the Tulsi really protects you or not but I find that when my Tulsi does well, things go well in the house. Equally when it starts looking sickly, there are a fiew ups and downs
Yeah, Thulasi is considered holy. People do believe that this plant has some relation with the Gods and we take good care of it. Thanks for stopping by, Sunita. π
Tulsi plant used to be so common and I used to find in most of the houses, very reverently kept in front of the house, I don’t get to see them now.. i was looking for it to bring it home…. hopefully I will find one day:) its a cute pic .
That’s great to hear. In Kerala, all houses from the previous generations had this Thulasithara in the front-yard. Now with more flats popping up everywhere, these are going to become non-existent soon.
Tulsi is such a pleasant plant. So life giving and so therapeutic too! I so wish I didn’t kill them the way I do. π¦ Love the little verse there, Vinitha.
Yes, most of the houses in Kerala had Tulsi when we were growing up. Now its presence is becoming lesser. We use it for making ‘chukkukaappi’, very healthy. I know, it’s hard for the plant to grow in cold weather. All the best for your Tulsi plant, Ramya.

Yes, it is considered holy. And yes, it isn’t seen as much as it was used to. I hope your wish will be fulfilled, Angela. π

Yes, it is. It has a soothing aroma and we use it in making ‘chukkukaapi’. But, why do you kill them? Why, Shailaja, why?

Tulsi is a must in our households. Though it’s difficult to grow plants in US due to cool weather, I took one plant recently. Hope it grows well.
