Satyabhama (a queen of Lord Dwarikadhish) wanted to be the most close to the heart of Lord Shree Krishna. Actually she donated Lord Krishna to Naradmuni. After realizing the mistakes she requested Narad muni for the solution of this situation. Then Naranmuni explains about this ritual. In which she has to donate gold or other material equal to the weight of Lord Dwarkadheesh. Queen Satyabhama decided to perform this ritual and tried to weigh Lord Krishna with Gold but she could not even after all her gold. After this queen Rukmani (an incarnation of Goddess Mahalaxmi) advises her to put a leaf of Tulasi with pure devotion. After then the Tula Daan ritual is performed.
According to puranas, Lord Shree Krishna also performed this Tula Daan ritual for his son Samba to rescue him from the curse of Brahmins. As per another legend, after the Kurukshetra war between Pandavas and Kauravas, King Yudhisthir and his brothers also performed this ritual to get release from the sin done by them by killing their relatives.
In this endeavor of offering service to Lord Krsna, you get eternal credit, and a little service offer to Lord Krsna can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear. – Bhagavad Gita 2.40
