Tulsi Vivah is a special Hindu festival that celebrates the symbolic wedding of Goddess Tulsi and Lord Vishnu.
This year, it's happening on November 2, right after Devuthani Ekadashi.
The day is especially meaningful for people hoping for happiness and harmony in marriage.

Rituals and significance

The main rituals start early on November 2 and go until the next morning. The most auspicious times are from 8:36am to 11:25am and again from 5:02pm to 8:13pm.
Families offer shringar (decorative items) to Tulsi, tie a sacred knot known as Gathbandhan, and some even fast.
Beyond the ceremonies, Tulsi Vivah honors marriage as a sacred bond—many believe celebrating it brings blessings and prosperity into their lives.
