When a person approaches the final moments of life, Hindu traditions follow several sacred rituals that have been passed down for thousands of years. One of the most mysterious practices is placing a Tulsi leaf in the person's mouth and laying them upon Kusha grass while sesame seeds are kept nearby. Most people perform these rituals because they have seen their elders do the same. But have you ever wondered why? What is so special about Tulsi, Kusha grass, and sesame seeds that they become important during a person's final journey? The answer lies in ancient scriptures, profound symbolism, and a spiritual understanding of life and death that continues to fascinate seekers even today.
