About this aarti — Vishnu

An Aarti is a song of worship sung while waving a lit lamp (diya) before the deity. The circling flame symbolises the removal of darkness and the offering of one’s ego at the feet of the divine. Aartis are sung at the end of puja in temples and homes across India, and their familiar melodies mark the rhythm of daily worship.

How to chant

Light a ghee or oil lamp on a small plate (thali), optionally with flowers, incense and akshata (rice grains). Sing the aarti while slowly circling the lamp clockwise before the deity. Afterwards, cup your hands over the flame, touch your eyes and forehead, and share prasad with everyone present.
