Arati in Puja

Arati is performed as an act of veneration and love. It is often performed as a mark of worship and to seek blessings from God, to welcome the guests, on birthdays, family members on auspicious occasions or to welcome newly wedded couple. For performing Arati, five small lamps called niranjans are filled with ghee or oil and arranged in a small tray made of metal. A wick is made out of cotton wool and placed in the lamps. A conch shell filled with water, auspicious leaves or flowers, incense or lighted camphor are also placed in the tray. The lamps are lit and the tray is rotated in a circular motion in front of the deity or the person to be welcomed. The purpose of performing Arati is to ward off evil effects and the malefic influence of the 'evil eye'. This is the highest form of veneration Hindus show to anyone.
