Story behind the ritual
A demon named Jalandhar who terrorised the whole universe was married to Vrinda centuries ago. Because of her virtue, Jalandhar achieved immortality. He could not be vanquished unless Vrinda's chastity was challenged. Lord Vishnu then hoaxed himself as Jalandhar and violated her. Jalandhar’s powers disappeared gradually, and Shiva defeated him in battle. Following this, Brindha cursed Lord Vishnu to become a stone which is now worshipped as Shaligram. After knowing this, Goddess Laxmi went to Vrinda and requested her to take the curse back. Vrinda then relieved Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu later blessed her that she would become Tulsi and because of her devotion, he married her as Shaligram. Hence this day is celebrated as Tulsi Vivah
