Overview

Tulsi Vivah for families in Rathyatra

Tulsi Vivah is the ceremonial marriage of the Tulsi plant, revered as Tulsi Devi, with Lord Vishnu in the form of a Shaligram stone or an image of Krishna. It is celebrated in Kartik, usually on Dwadashi after Devuthani Ekadashi, when Vishnu is said to awaken from his four months of rest.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Traditional Ganesha prayer

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Decorate the tulsi plant and prepare a small mandap of sugarcane.
Keep shringar items for Tulsi and a Shaligram or Krishna murti ready.
