Many Hindus have the habit of planting tulasi plants in their home. Tulasi Devi is also known by various names such as Vrinda, Vaishnavi and Haripriya.
Tulasi was married to Jalandhara, a powerful demon. Jalandhara had done lot of bad deeds and gave disturbance to the entire universe. Finally, he was killed by Lord Shiva.
After that, Lord Vishnu appeared before tulasi, and asked her to return to “VAIKUNTA” as Goddess Lakshmi.
