Tulsi Pujan Diwas 2025 is celebrated as a special festival of faith and devotion in Hinduism.

Devotees perform puja (worship) following prescribed rituals and pray for the welfare of their families.
Tulsi Pujan Diwas will be observed on December 25, 2025. On this day, devotees across the country perform special worship of the Tulsi plant at home, seeking blessings and spiritual harmony.
Auspicious time for Tulsi puja
The timing of the puja holds special significance. Devotees may perform the puja during either of the following auspicious windows:
- Morning Muhurat: 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM
- Evening Muhurat: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Spiritual significance of worshipping Tulsi
Scriptures describe Tulsi as supremely sacred. It is said that where Tulsi resides, divine blessings remain. Tulsi is dear to Lord Vishnu, and Vishnu worship is traditionally considered incomplete without Tulsi. Regular worship of Tulsi is believed to remove obstacles and cultivate mental peace, which is why Tulsi is found in many Indian household courtyards.
