ALLIENCE Between HINDUISM AND CHRISTIANITY..

As per the Hindu mythology, Tulsi is very close to Lord Vishnu, Infact, a ceremony is held annually in which Tulsi is married to the Lord in the month of Kartik on the 11th bright day(ekadashi), as per the lunar(desi) calendar. It is a grand celebration that continues for five consecutive days and ends up on the full moon day (purnima). It usually falls in the mid of October. This Hindu ritual(ritu) is known as Tulsi Vivah. As a part of daily custom, a garland made up of Tulsi leaves is firstly offered to Lord Vishnu. According to a Christian folklore, the sacred plant Tulsi grew around the place, where Jesus Christ was crucified.
