Tulsi Vivah is the ceremonial marriage of the Tulsi plant (Goddess Vrinda) and a form of Goddess Lakshmi to Shaligram, or an idol of Lord Vishnu. The Tulsi plant is dressed as a bride, a mandap is set up, and the wedding rituals are performed just as in a traditional Hindu marriage.
This day is observed on Dwadashi tithi (12th day) of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) in the Hindu month of Kartik. With 99Pandit, you can book an experienced pandit ji who performs the full vidhi, guides you through every step, and lets you focus on devotion. This year, Tulsi Vivaah falls on Saturday, 21 November 2026.
The story behind it is the legend of Vrinda, the devoted wife of the demon king Jalandhar. After Vrinda cursed Lord Vishnu, he became the Shaligram stone, and she was born as the Tulsi plant. Lord Vishnu promised to accept her as his consort, and that is why the two are wed every year.
Additionally, Tulsi Vivah, kept on or just after that day, formally reopens the auspicious calendar for weddings and other mangal karya.
