Explanation

A ceremony where incense and lamps are used to welcome or give thanks to God.

Context

Arti is the ‘ceremony of light’, involving the waving of lighted candle wicks before sacred images; this infuses the flames with the gods’ and goddesses’ love, energy and blessings.

The arti ceremony is a form of worship that happens in Hindu temples every day – also known as “an offering of light”. A young Hindu called Pranathi explains it all.
