Arati is a Hindu ritual of worship that involves the offering of light to deities. During this ceremony, a small lamp or flame is presented to the divine, often accompanied by singing hymns or chanting prayers. The light symbolizes the removal of darkness and ignorance, representing the presence of the divine in the worship space. Typically performed in temples or homes, arati is an important part of daily worship and special occasions. It is often conducted at the end of a prayer session, allowing devotees to express their devotion and gratitude. The ritual fosters a sense of community and spiritual connection among participants.
