Tulsi is one of the most sacred plants in Hinduism. Personified as Goddess Tulsi, she is worshiped as a deity. People grow Tulsi plants in their homes and women offer prayers to her early morning. Planting a basil tree in the Brahmasthan of the house, is considered very auspicious. It radiates divinity in the surroundings and ensures the flow of positive energy all around. Brahamasthan is the exact centre of the house, which is considered the most sacred point of the house. Tulsi is also known for its medicinal benefits. Other than this the beads of Tulsi are used to make 'mala' which can be worn as well as used for chanting mantras.
