What is Tulasi Vivah?
Tulasi Vivah is the ceremonial wedding of the Tulasi plant to Lord Vishnu (as Shaligrama or Krishna) on Karthika Shukla Dwadashi — Utthana Dwadashi, or Tulasi Habba in Karnataka — which opens the season of weddings.
Vishnu wakes from his four-month yoga nidra on Prabodhini Ekadashi, and the next day he is married to Tulasi, who is worshipped as Lakshmi in plant form. Families who have no daughter often perform Tulasi Vivah to earn the merit of kanyadaan.
