History & tradition
Tulsi Manas Mandir is one of the best-known temples in the holy city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. It has great cultural importance because it stands at the place where the poet-saint Goswami Tulsidas is believed to have composed the Ramcharitmanas in the 16th century. Valmiki’s Ramayana was written in Sanskrit and was not accessible to most people; Tulsidas retold the story of Rama in the language of the people, and the temple honours that work.
