Tulsi, or holy basil, is among the most sacred crops for Hindus everywhere in the world. It’s thought-about pure, therapeutic, and non secular. However, it’s by no means supplied to Lord Shiva. Why?
In keeping with Hindu scriptures, Tulsi was the devoted spouse of the demon king Jalandhara. When Lord Shiva destroyed Jalandhara to avoid wasting the universe, Tulsi, being a trustworthy spouse, cursed Lord Shiva that he would by no means be worshipped with Tulsi leaves.
