Tulsi is the sacred basil — but in legend she was Vrinda, a woman of such devotion that she became the plant most beloved of Vishnu, worshipped in courtyards across India and central to countless rituals.
"No offering to Vishnu is complete without a single leaf of Tulsi placed upon it."
Healing, pure and endlessly devoted, Tulsi represents faithfulness, well-being and quiet sanctity. A daughter named Tulsi carries devotion, gentleness and a nurturing, healing presence.
