Frequently Asked Questions

How to perform evening aarti at home?
Light a ghee or oil lamp (diya). Place it on a plate with flowers and kumkum. Ring a bell with your left hand while moving the aarti plate clockwise with your right hand — 7 times at the deity's feet, 4 times at the navel, 1 time at the face, and 7 times around the entire form. Sing the aarti while doing this.
What is the correct order of aarti?
Start with Ganesh Aarti (Jai Ganesh Deva), then pray to your family deity, followed by Om Jai Jagdish Hare. On specific days, add the day's deity aarti (e.g., Hanuman Aarti on Tuesday, Lakshmi Aarti on Friday).
What time should evening aarti be performed?
Sandhya Kaal (dusk/sunset time) is ideal — approximately 6:00-7:00 PM depending on sunset. In temples, evening aarti is performed at a fixed time. At home, perform it as close to sunset as possible.
Can evening aarti be done without an idol?
Yes. You can perform aarti in front of a photo, a lamp, or even mentally. The devotion and sincerity matter most, not the physical setup. A simple diya and a heartfelt aarti is more powerful than an elaborate puja without devotion.
