Many Nepali households are busying themselves planting and worshipping tulasi, also known as holy basil, at their yards Tuesday morning. They are preparing for the beginning of the four-month festival Chaturmas.
Beginning the day of Harishayini Ekadashi in June/July, Hindus in Nepal and India mark a special period dedicated to Lord Vishnu and his embodiments for the next four months until the day of Haribodhini Ekadashi in October/November, and it is known as the Chaturmas (literally, four months).
