What is Tulasi Nau Puja?
Tulasi Nau Puja (also known as Tulasi Kalyanam or Tulasi Nuvvu Puja) is a deeply rooted cultural ritual observed primarily in households before a young girl attains puberty. This auspicious ceremony is performed to invoke blessings from Goddess Tulasi and Lord Vishnu, seeking protection, purity, and spiritual well-being for the child. It symbolizes the girl's transition into adolescence and ensures divine guidance for a virtuous and healthy life ahead.
The word “Nau” refers to the pre-menstrual phase of a girl, and this ritual is performed before the girl steps into womanhood.
