Why Should Not Offer Water To Tulsi Plant On Sunday: Tulsi and ginger tea is made every day at home. But even after Sunday is a holiday, many times the flavor of Tulsi is not available in the tea. Reason, because on Saturday you forgot to pluck the extra leaves of Tulsi and today is Sunday, so no one in the family can touch Tulsi. In such a situation, this question definitely comes in the mind that why can’t we pluck basil leaves on Sundays?
Not only this, it is forbidden to offer water in a basil pot after worshiping on Sundays. At home, mother and grandmother often forbid it and say that today water should be put in some other pot and not in Tulsi. Why does this happen? Is there any scientific reason behind this or it has been done only because of superstition and is happening even today? Today we know the answer to this question…
Tulsi and the Indian Society
Tulsi is still considered the most sacred plant in our Indian society. For us Tulsi is a medical plant secondly, a religious plant first. This is the reason why you will definitely find Tulsi plant in the house of almost all Hindus.

When it comes to Tulsi, we think about religious beliefs before science. This is because the description of Tulsi plant is found in our religious scriptures and no puja-havan is complete without Tulsi leaves. So first take a little information that what is the reason behind this happening?
According to mythology, the Tulsi plant is a form of Goddess Tulsi. Goddess Tulsi is the consort of Lord Shaligram, a form of Lord Vishnu. Goddess Tulsi has been blessed by Vishnu ji that God will not accept the worship in which she is not present. When and why Tulsi ji got this boon, we will talk about it in another article. For now, just understand that because of this boon received by Tulsi, its leaves are used in every worship.
Why don’t you pluck basil leaves on Sunday?
In Hindu scriptures, Tulsi is more a form of Goddess Tulsi than being a plant. According to religious beliefs, on Sundays, Goddess Tulsi Vishnu remains engrossed in meditation and rests. While on other days she is present for public welfare and welfare of her devotees. There should not be any disturbance in Tulsi ji’s meditation and relaxation on Sunday, so that no obstacle should come, therefore it is forbidden to offer water to Tulsi and pluck Tulsi leaves on Sunday.
Do not offer water to Tulsi even on this day
Offering water to Tulsi and plucking Tulsi leaves is prohibited not only on Sunday but also on Ekadashi day, that is, it is forbidden to do so. This is because according to religious and mythological beliefs, on the day of Ekadashi, Tulsi ji observes waterless fast for Lord Vishnu. In such a situation, if you offer water on them, then their fast will be broken. Also, if you pluck their leaves, they will suffer and be disturbed. That’s why Tulsi ji is greeted from a distance on every Sunday and Ekadashi.
