*"Kerala Thulasi Thara," which is a traditional honor given to women in the Indian state of Kerala. It is a custom where a woman is honored with a seat made of sacred basil leaves (Tulasi) during religious ceremonies and rituals. The seat is considered to be a mark of respect and reverence, and it signifies the importance of the woman's role in the family and society. During the ceremony, the woman is usually dressed in traditional attire and is adorned with flowers and jewelry. She is then seated on the Tulasi Thara, and prayers and rituals are performed. The custom is believed to have originated from the belief that women are the embodiment of the divine mother and are worthy of reverence and respect.
