Tulsi, also Thulasi, Tulasi (Ocimum tenuiflorum also Ocimum sanctum, narrow-flowered basil) is a perennial plant, used in India as a wild plant and as a spice. In Asia, it is used to produce aromatic oil, as a supporting plant in the form of teas, as a spice to flavor various dishes, but also during religious ceremonies. In the form of tea, it is considered the "elixir of life". Its scent is suitable for meditation, contemplation and prayer. Tulsi roots are used to make beads to start prayer.

Legend has it that Tulsi was a pious woman who wanted to marry Vishnu. Lakshmi, Vishna's wife, cursed her, and Tulsi became an earthly plant. However, she could love Vishnu if he appeared in the form of a shaligram (fossil shell) in the temple.
