Grown for the courtyard it belongs in — sacred basil grown on properly and rooted before it reaches you, rather than the week-old cutting that usually turns up. Full sun, water daily, and pinch out the flower spikes to keep the leaf coming.

What it actually does

Kept in Indian households for generations

Cultural and culinary use, not medical advice — Grown by the door in millions of Indian homes, picked for tea and for puja.

Carries a story

Traditionally — Kept in a raised tulsi vrindavan in the courtyard of millions of Indian homes, watered each morning and lit at dusk. It is treated as a household presence rather than a plant, and Tulsi Vivah at the end of Kartik marries it formally to Vishnu, opening the wedding season.

Has a place in vastu

In vastu tradition — Placed in the north or north-east, raised off the ground, and never in the south.

Where it comes from

Native to the subcontinent and grown here for at least three thousand years. Two forms are common: Rama tulsi with green leaves and a milder scent, and Krishna tulsi with purple stems and a sharper, more clove-like one. Both are short-lived perennials that get woody and stop producing leaf if you let them run to seed.

Vastu placement is a traditional belief, and we include it because people ask. Nothing here is a claim about health. How we treat vastu, and what it does not do.
