Aarti Ceremony

The Aarti ceremony is a traditional Hindu ritual of devotional worship involving the offering of light, typically in the form of a lit lamp or candle, to a deity or as a spiritual blessing. During the ritual, participants rotate the lit lamp in front of the deity's image while singing hymns or hymnal chants, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness and the awakening of divine energy. It is often performed during religious festivals, prayers, or auspicious occasions to seek blessings, express gratitude, and foster spiritual connection. The ceremony creates a sense of reverence, unity, and devotional devotion among worshippers.
