Tulsi

Tulsi plant or Holy Basil is an important symbol in many Hindu religious traditions. The name "Tulsi" means the "incomparable one". Tulsi is a venerated plant and devotees worship it in the morning and evening. Tulsi grows wild in the tropics and warm regions. Dark or syama (Krishna) Tulsi and light or Rama Tulsi are the two main varietes of basil. The former possess greater medicinal value and is commonly used for worship.
