“All love and gratitude to all our customers over our 23 years, it has been our joy and honour.”

Tulasi first opened in 2001 and sold books, clothes and devotional items linked to the Hare Krishna movement.

The movement began in India and spread to America in the 1960s before coming to the UK. It is most visible in the UK through public chanting but also uses yoga as a form of prayer.
