In Sanatan Dharma, the Tulsi plant is highly sacred, representing purity, Mercury (Budh), and Jupiter (Guru). Many people, out of devotion, drape a red "Chunari" (cloth) over their Tulsi plant at home.
But Lal Kitab reveals a hidden astrological clash here. Red is the color of Mars (Mangal - fire and aggression). Tulsi represents Mercury (greenery and business). Mars and Mercury are bitter enemies.
When you put a red cloth on a green Tulsi plant, you are physically creating a Mars-Mercury clash in your house. The fire of Mars burns the business energy of Mercury. The result? Your business will suddenly slow down, and your public respect will turn to "ashes."
The Free Vastu Remedy: Remove the red cloth immediately. Let the Tulsi plant breathe in its natural green state. If you must offer a cloth, use yellow (Jupiter) or green (Mercury).
