Tulsi is a highly significant plant in Hinduism. In addition to being revered, it has several Ayurvedic qualities that allow it to be used as a remedy for a variety of seasonal illnesses. Keeping a Tulsi plant in the house or courtyard aids in getting rid of all the bad energy. The holy Tulsi plant's stems are used to make the Tulsi Mala, sometimes called Tulsi beads or a Tulsi rosary, which is a revered necklace. Hindu ceremonies and meditation techniques frequently make use of Tulsi malas. Concentration, mindfulness, and spiritual connection are said to be improved by this sacred necklace. Let us check out the benefits and rules of wearing the sacred Kanthi Mala. 

Rules Of Wearing Tulsi Kanthi Mala 

As Tulsi is extremely pious and sacred, there are certain rules and regulations which need to be followed by the wearer of the Kanthi Mala. Check out these rules and regulations below: 

- Before wearing the Tulsi mala, it should be placed in front of the Lord Vishnu image or idol. After that, it needs to be bathed with Gangajal and Panch Gavya and left to dry before being worn. 

- Reciting the Mool Mantra is recommended both during the purification process and when wearing the mala. In order to express gratitude to Goddess Tulsi for assisting us in being closer to Lord Vishnu, the Gayatri and Sadyojata mantras must be recited eight times before wearing them.
