Dates are for Mumbai. A tithi that changes close to sunrise or sunset can fall a day earlier or later in another city, so for your own town open the festival in the app.
When it falls
12th day of the waxing moon, in Kartika. Like every lunar festival it lands on a different Gregorian date each year. Muhurtha works the date out from the positions of the Sun and Moon, using the rule for this festival; see how every festival is dated.
The story
The tulsi plant — Vrinda, a devotee reborn — is ceremonially married to Vishnu (as a shaligram). It closes Chaturmas and opens the wedding season.
How it is kept
A miniature wedding in the courtyard: mandap, mangalsutra on the plant, sugarcane and amla.
