Tulsi is an aromatic herbal plant native to India. It is used in the form of herbal tea or for medicinal purposes.
Tulsi or Holy basil is a sacred plant in Hindu belief. Hindus regard it as an earthly manifestation of the goddess Tulsi, a consort of god Vishnu. The offering of its leaves is mandatory in ritualistic worship of Vishnu and his forms like Krishna.
The Tulsi plant is grown in or near almost every Hindu house, especially by Brahmins and Vaishnavas. A house with a Tulsi plant is sometimes considered a place of pilgrimage.
