The Tulsi plant is an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi and is considered the consort of Lord Vishnu.
Lighting a diya near the plant is said to invite divine blessings from both Vishnu and Lakshmi.
Lighting a diya near Tulsi plant brings positive energy into the home.
It purifies the surroundings and wards off negativity from the house.
Placing a diya near Tulsi mandir every evening, calms the mind and soothes stress.
It is believed that the Tulsi plant absorbs harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and helps in cleaning the air.
The aroma released by a ghee diya dispels unpleasant odours.
It also helps in keeping insects away.
In Hindu spirituality, a deepak symbolises knowledge and purity.
