For many Hindus in India, Diwali culminates with the commencement of Tulsi vivah. It marks the beginning of wedding season among the Hindus. This year it will be celebrated on November 15 (Monday).

New Delhi: India is a land of traditions and every festival is celebrated with great pomp and show. Each community has its own set of rituals that are followed with utmost devotion and dedication.

Tulsi Vivah is one such festival which is celebrated in various parts of India on Ekadashi according to the Hindu calendar in the month of Kartik. The holy marriage of Tulsi (basil plant), and Lord Vishnu (Shaligram) is conducted on this day.

According to the Hindu scriptures, all the living creatures including the plants have a sense of consciousness transfusing in them. Tulsi becomes the best example of this preaching and thus this marriage is considered sacred.
