Vastu Shastra: Why shouldn't a dried basil plant be kept in the house? What does it indicate? Learn more

Tulsi is considered very sacred in Hinduism. According to Hindu scriptures and Vastu Shastra, Tulsi is a favorite tree of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Therefore, a home that has Tulsi is always blessed by Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu. Such a home never faces a shortage of money, and all financial problems are eliminated. Therefore, Vastu Shastra recommends having a Tulsi tree in the home. Simply planting a Tulsi tree doesn't mean the work is done; according to Hindu scriptures, one should worship Tulsi every morning after bathing, offer water to Tulsi, and also light a lamp near Tulsi in the evening to achieve the desired results. This removes all Vastu defects in the home. However, Vastu Shastra still advises against keeping dried Tulsi in the home. So, let's find out what Vastu Shastra actually says.
