Dear Kamlesh :
TuLasi is the preferrd scred leave to perform
Archani for PerumAL although MahA Lakshmi has
Bilva Nilayam . You will see the Tree at the North
East on thre Banks of AhOrathra PushkaraNI in
Oppiliappan Sannidhi ( Hope it is still there ,
Some one can check this out and let us know). The Bilva Fruit is dried , hollowed and is used as the storing vessel for SrI
ChUrNam by VaidhikAs.
There is a tradition of Using Bilva Leaves as one
of the "pushpams" in the Pushpa Yaagam for
Padmavathi ThAyAr at ThirucchAnur . Rose, Lily ,
lotus, Jaaiji , Maruvam/vetti vEr, chAmanti , KanakAmbharam , Dhavanam ,
TULASEE, Mogili , Maasa Pathri are the others used in such
Pushpa Yaagam .
On Sri PadmAvati ThAyAr's birthday , Lord SrinivAsa
senda baskets of TuLasi and Flowers to Her.
At ThirukkaNNa Puram , PerumAl has Rudra Vesham and
recieves VibhUti .
Bilvam ( Fresh or in Gold) are otherwise
exclusively used for Siva Poojai .
BilvAshtakam praises the glory of archana to
SivapirAn.Sivan uses TuLasi to perform
archanai for His grandfather, Lord Sriman narayaNan
.
