Amravati Ki Kathayein
Tulsi Tambulam
S1 • E5 Jun 25, 1995
The "Tulsi" or Basil plant plays an important role in the Indian Hindu households. Every household has one planted in their backyard, and it is worshiped and watered daily. No religious ceremony is complete without Tulsi leaves."Tambulam" consists of betel leaves with lime, arecanut and many other ingredients and is often chewed after a good meal as digestive and mouth freshener. Tulsi leaves are never used in a Tambulam. The unusual title of the story is explained clearly at the end in a poignant way.
