In her video, the actress began with, “Today is Tulsi Maa’s wedding. Let me tell you why this day is so special. There was a beautiful and pious woman named Vrinda. She loved her husband, Raja Jalandhar, a lot. Vrinda was a devotee. She used to worship Lord Vishnu every day. She used to fast for her husband’s long life. Due to Vrinda’s devotion and piousness, Raja Jalandhar became so powerful that even the deities could not defeat him. All the deities got worried and asked Lord Vishnu for help.”
Continuing the tale, she said, “Lord Vishnu thought a lot, and then he performed a leela. In the leela, he took the form of Raja Jalandhar. He went to Vrinda. Vrinda saw him and thought that his husband had come. Vrinda welcomed him, and after some time, his dharma got destroyed. At the same time, Raja Jalandhar was killed on the battlefield. Because Vrinda’s dharma was destroyed, he lost his protective power. After some time, Lord Vishnu came in his original form. Vrinda was surprised. She cried and said, Lord, why did you deceive me? I was your devotee. Lord Vishnu was silent. Vrinda said with a sad heart, I curse you. Just like you separated me from my wife’s dharma, you will also have to stay away from your wife. And this is what happened. Lord Vishnu had to stay away from Sita during the exile.”
She clarified the divine outcome of the curse, “Vrinda then left her body. Lord Vishnu said with great sorrow, Vrinda, you are very pure. I will give birth to a pure plant from your body. You will be worshipped in everyone’s house as Tulsi. And you will be my beloved. And then the Tulsi plant came to earth. Since then, Tulsi Maa has been worshipped in every house. Without her, the worship of Lord Vishnu is considered incomplete.”
In her post caption, Adah playfully added, “Do you know why we offer Tulsi Maa in every worship? P.S. What you see behind my head is the resting place of kharutai when it’s raining outside. My mother made this rangoli with the help of Sanjeevani. I don’t know how to make rangoli. I tried but I couldn’t.”
Traditionally, Tulsi Vivah marks the end of the monsoon season and the beginning of the Hindu wedding season. The ritual involves the union of the Tulsi plant—believed to represent the earthly form of Goddess Lakshmi with Lord Vishnu, symbolised by a Shaligram stone or amla branch.
