Tulsi-Shaligram marriage story

Tulsi-Shaligram marriage story

Tulsi-Shaligram marriage is celebrated around Kartik Shukla Ekadashi or Dwadashi. In this, Tulsi Mata is married to Lord Vishnu in the form of Shaligram. This story reveals Tulsi's purity, Pativrata-shakti and his divine relationship with Sri Hari.

There is a story in the Puranas that even the gods were impressed by the penance and integrity of a devoted woman named Vrinda. When his penance was broken due to circumstances, he cursed God; Later the same divine power was established in the form of Tulsi and Shri Hari established an eternal relationship with him in the form of Shaligram. That is why the worship of Shri Vishnu is considered incomplete without Tulsidal.

Auspicious works are considered to begin with Tulsi-Shaligram marriage. On this day, fasting, lamp donation, Vishnu worship, Tulsi worship and marriage ceremonies bring happiness, good fortune and purity in the house.
