Why Can't We Wear Tulsi Mala on Our Hands?

The Tulsi plant is one of the most respected plants in Hinduism. It is believed to be very dear to Lord Vishnu and Lord Krishna. Because of this, many devotees wear a Tulsi mala as a sign of faith and devotion. Most people wear the Tulsi mala around their neck. But sometimes people ask, "Can I wear it on my hand instead?" The answer depends on the tradition you follow. Many Vaishnava traditions believe that the Tulsi mala should be worn around the neck. This is not just a custom. It is a way of showing respect to something that is considered sacred.
