Origin & Story

Traditional Hindi devotional aarti Ā· Traditional Ā· Devotional era

Tulsi, the holy basil, is revered as the goddess Vrinda — a devotee so pure that she became most beloved of Lord Vishnu, who keeps her leaves upon his head and accepts no offering without them. Worshipped daily at the home shrine, especially in the month of Kartik and at Tulsi Vivah, her aarti is sung at dusk with a lamp before the Tulsi plant.

✦ As told in scripture

No worship of Vishnu or Krishna is complete without a leaf of Tulsi, and a home with a worshipped Tulsi is said to be guarded from disease and misfortune. Devotees light a lamp at her feet each dusk, especially through holy Kartik, and sing this aarti for health and grace.
