Tulsi Vivah in Hyderabad
Telugu families in Hyderabad celebrate Kshirabdi Dwadashi in Karthika masam with a puja of Tulasi and Vishnu, while North Indian and Gujarati families keep Tulsi Vivah, the wedding of Tulsi and Shaligram.

A Pandit can conduct either tradition at your home or community space, with the rites your family follows.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
