Did you know there are 4 type of Tulsi in India?
It is known as Holy Basil in English and Tulasi in Sanskrit. Other names used for the Tulsi are Manjari, Krishna Tulsi, Trittavu, Tulshi, and Tulsi.

Tulsi is one of roughly 60 species of the genus Ocimum, the basil genus. Within the Tulsi family, there are several kinds grown in India. Most varieties are native to India, including the foothills of the Himalayas; they are also found throughout the Middle East.

Tulsi is grown as an annual herb in temperate climates that may grow to a height of three feet. The root grows as a branched taproot.

The stem has a square or quadrangular shape characteristic to Lamiaceae plants and is branched, green to red with a fine layer of pubescence. The leaves are opposite, simple, ovate, serrate and petiolate.
