A 108 Tulsi saplings were distributed free to devotees at the Sai Baba, Kapaleeswarar, and Keshav Perumal temples in Mylapore, and Anjaneyar temple in Alwarpet.
The organisation regularly conducts Tulsi Vrindavan in educational institutions and hospitals as the Tulsi is considered a healing plant that purifies the air around it, is believed to promote prosperity and harmony, and discourages the proliferation of germs and mosquitoes.
