In India, people have used the herb in prayer ceremonies and temple rituals. Devotees often chewed the leaves during prayer, and they sometimes soaked them in coconut water before offering them to others. Over time, basil gained a reputation as a symbol of purification and renewal. As a result, it became both a spiritual plant and a household staple.
