Explanation

Tulsi Vivah is a Hindu festival that marks the ceremonial marriage of the holy basil plant (Tulsi) to Lord Vishnu or Krishna. It begins on Ekadashi (the 11th lunar day) of Kartik Shukla Paksha and continues until Kartik Poornima (full moon). Kartik Poornima itself is a separate festival, and the 14th day would be too late.
