文化背景

Watering plants is often the first chore of the day, done before the sun gets too hot. It is considered a peaceful, meditative start to the morning. The Tulsi plant is sacred. Watering it is not just gardening but a religious act called 'Tulsi Puja'. 'Maadi Thottam' (Terrace Gardening) is a huge trend in cities like Chennai and Coimbatore. People share tips on 'ūṟṟutal' techniques on YouTube. Classical poetry often uses the image of a person watering a plant to symbolize a king nurturing his citizens or a teacher nurturing students.
