Shall we observe auspicious days while planting and changing new basil plant?

 

According to the Shastras, the period from Ashada Suddha Ekadasi to Karthik Suddha Ekadasi is called ‘Chaturmasyas.’ During these days, the new basil plant should not be planted or changed. On Ekadasi, Dwadasi, Poornima, New Moon, and on Friday one should not pluck the tulsi leaves.
