What does TULSI mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A type of basil regarded as sacred in Hindu tradition and grown for religious and medicinal use.
Tulsi, known in English as holy basil, is planted in many Hindu households and temple courtyards, where it is watered and honored as part of daily worship. Beyond its religious role, people brew the leaves into a tea believed to ease coughs and colds, and traditional medicine in South Asia has used the plant for centuries. The word entered English from Hindi, reflecting how the plant travelled into wider use alongside its original devotional context. Tulsi is closely related to the more familiar culinary basil, though it has a stronger, more peppery scent and is grown for worship and remedy rather than for cooking.
