Tulsi Puja: When should you not offer water to Tulsi? Know the date, or your difficulties will increase

News Topical, Digital Desk : In Hinduism, the Tulsi plant is considered very sacred and revered. It is considered a form of Goddess Lakshmi and is also very dear to Lord Vishnu. Regularly offering water to Tulsi and worshipping it (Tulsi Puja) brings happiness and prosperity to the home. However, certain dates and days (Auspicious Tulsi Watering) have been mentioned in the scriptures when offering water to Tulsi and touching it is considered prohibited. It is said that violating these rules can anger Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu. This can increase problems in the home.

Important dates for not offering water to Tulsi (Tulsi Watering Restriction)

Ekadashi Tithi

Ekadashi Tithi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. According to the Padma Purana, Tulsi Mata observed a waterless fast for Lord Vishnu on Ekadashi. Therefore, offering water on this day breaks her fast. Therefore, one should not offer water to Tulsi or pluck its leaves on both Ekadashis (Shukla and Krishna Paksha) that occur every month

Sunday

Sunday is dedicated to the Sun God. It is believed that Tulsi Mata rests on Sundays. According to religious beliefs, Tulsi requested a boon that she not be watered on Sundays. Therefore, watering Tulsi should be avoided on Sundays. Even touching Tulsi on this day is considered inauspicious.

Lunar eclipse and solar eclipse

Eclipse periods are considered inauspicious in scriptures. Negative energy increases during this time. Therefore, touching or offering water to the Tulsi plant is prohibited during lunar and solar eclipses. Any water placed near the Tulsi plant should also be removed before the eclipse.

Sankranti day

On the day of Sankranti, the Sun transits from one zodiac sign to another. Offering water to Tulsi during this time is also considered inauspicious. Therefore, on the day of Sankranti, Tulsi should be worshipped, but water should not be offered.

At night: According to scriptures, Tulsi should not be touched or watered after sunset. The best time to offer water to Tulsi is at sunrise
