But have you ever wondered why Tulsi and Shaligram are paired together in this divine ceremony?

In a twist of fate, Lord Vishnu, fascinated by her devotion, vowed to marry her, leading to this enchanting celebration. Not only does this event signify the spiritual union of the Earth and Heaven, but it also emphasizes the value of devotion in its purest form. With each leaf, prayer, and chant, we honor the boundless love that flourishes between divinity and its followers, bringing us all closer!
