Tulsi Vrindavan is a riverside garden located on the banks of the Chandrabhaga River in Pandharpur. The park is characterized by its landscaping featuring numerous Tulsi (Holy Basil) plants, which hold significant religious importance in local Vaishnavite traditions.

The grounds feature pathways, stone seating, and manicured hedges maintained in a traditional layout.
