Dried Tulsi Plant? Learn the Right Way to Immerse It Without Incurring Sin

• Dried Tulsi is as sacred as green Tulsi, associated with Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.
• Never throw a dried Tulsi plant in the trash; it should be respectfully immersed.
• Gently remove the dried Tulsi plant with its roots, then wrap it in a clean, preferably red, cloth.
• Immerse in a sacred river, or bury it under a Peepal/Banyan tree or in a deep pit.
• Chant "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya" 3, 7, or 11 times during immersion, preferably on Thursday or Friday.
