Moreover when lot's of people gather and sing the divine lyrics of Aarti all the minds are on one thing, the aarti. Vocals : Aarti is a simple fire ritual, where devotees gathers often in large number and sings the aarti in unison. Noon aarti is performed in the mid noon time. If five Aartis are perfoemed in a day, usually a second one follows in the morning after the sunrise aarti. Aarti as a ritual to evoke the divine feeling thus is performed at these two times.

Artis are performed both at Mandir (Temple) and home.Īll the Aarti rituals daily performed in Shirdi Temple started when Sai Baba did His leelas as embodied form of Sat Chit Ananda.Īartis are usually performed at five times a day or less than that.
