Aarti

Aarti is a Hindu religious ritual of worship involving the offering of light from burning wicks soaked in ghee or oil to deities. Typically, a lit lamp is rotated in front of an image or statue of the deity while singing hymns or prayers. This act symbolizes the removing of darkness and ignorance, invoking divine blessings, and expressing reverence. Aarti is performed during prayer ceremonies, festivals, or daily worship, fostering devotion and communal unity. It holds spiritual significance as a gesture of surrender and gratitude, connecting devotees with the divine presence.
