Know the significance of Tulsi Vivah: 
In India, the wedding season begins with Devutthana Ekadashi, also known as Tulsi Vivah day. Because the Chaturmas period ends on this day, weddings and other auspicious ceremonies such as mundan, griha pravesh, roka, vivah, namkaran sanskar, and so on are typically not held during the Chaturmas period (that includes Shravana, Bhadrapada, Ashwina and Kartika months). The season of ceremonies begins with this Ekadashi Tithi.

On this day, Lord Vishnu is said to awaken after four months of Yogic sleep beneath the Kshirasagara (cosmic ocean). Furthermore, Shaligram married Tulsi, the sacred plant, to honour a boon bestowed upon her during her previous birth.

On Tulsi Vivah, the Tulsi plant and Shaligram are dressed as bride and groom, respectively, and all Hindu wedding rituals are performed.
