Ganga aarti // Indian culture // Hinduism

Ganga aarti is a Hindu ritual that takes place every evening on the banks of the river Ganges in India. It involves offering prayers and lighting lamps to the river goddess, Ganga. The ceremony is performed by priests who use large lamps made of brass and filled with oil and wicks. The lamps are lit and moved in a circular motion as mantras are chanted in praise of the goddess. Devotees gather around to witness the ceremony and offer their own prayers and offerings. The Ganga aarti is considered a sacred ritual that symbolizes the connection between humans and the divine. It is believed to bring blessings and good fortune to those who participate in it.
