Tulsi (Occinum sanctum) chosen for its anti-pollutant anti-oxidation and air-purifying properties making it an ideal ornamental shrub in the vicinity of the Taj Mahal. Now Tulsi is being used to help Taj Mahal to retain its pristine allure. Even as the monument of love yellowing with age awaits its promised beauty pack for well over two years, forest department has come up with another quick-fix project — plant a Tulsi drive in Agra. The recommended complexion care regimen officers claim has full backing from ancient texts which hold Tulsi to be the panacea for all problems from cosmic to cosmetic.
