aarti
Aarti also spelled arati, arathi, aarthi (from the Sanskrit word aratrika with the same meaning) is a Hindu religious ritual of worship, a part of ''puja'', in which light from wicks soaked in ghee (purified butter) or camphor is offered to one or more deities. Aartis also refer to the songs sung in praise of the deity, when lamps are being offered.
==Origin==
Aarti is derived from the Sanskrit word ''Aratrika'', which means something that removes ''Ratri'', darkness (or light waved in darkness before an icon).〔(आरात्रिक ) Sanskrit English Dictionary, Germany〕〔James Lochtefeld, An illustrated Encyclopedia of Hinduism, ISBN 0-8239-2287-1, page 51〕〔Monier Williams Sanskrit Dictionary; Quote: ArAtrika n. the light (or the vessel containing it) which is waved at night before an icon ; N. of this ceremony.〕 Another word from which Arati is thought to be derived is the Sanskrit word ''Aaraartikyam''(Sanskrit:आरार्तिक्यं). A Marathi language reference says〔http://www.marathivishwakosh.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4661%3A2010-11-15-06-28-12&catid=2&Itemid=3〕 it is also known as ''Mahaneeranjana''(Sanskrit:महानीराञ्जना)〔https://wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Konkani_Viswakosh_Vol1.pdf/191〕
Aarti is said to have descended from the Vedic concept of fire rituals, or ''homa''. In the traditional aarti ceremony, the flower represents the earth (solidity), the water and accompanying handkerchief correspond with the water element (liquidity), the lamp or candle represents the fire component (heat), the peacock fan conveys the precious quality of air (movement), and the yak-tail fan represents the subtle form of ether (space). The incense represents a purified state of mind, and one’s "intelligence" is offered through the adherence to rules of timing and order of offerings. Thus, one’s entire existence and all facets of material creation are symbolically offered to the Lord via the aarti ceremony.〔Rosen, Steven (2006). ''Essential Hinduism''. Praeger Publishers. ISBN 0-275-99006-0〕 The word may also refer to the traditional Hindu devotional song that is sung during the ritual.
