All Chalisa and Aarti 51

All chalisa and aarti are a part of our culture in India. They are a time for us to celebrate our cultural heritage and values. These prayers have been around for centuries and have always been a part of life in India. It is important to know that everyone has a different way of praying and it is okay to be different.The word 'Aarti' means to be a light in darkness. It is the ritual that is performed by Hindus for the good of the world and to please their gods. The ritual is done by burning a special type of wood called 'Dhuni' and making it into a small statue. The statue is then placed in front of a Hindu temple and lit. This ritual is done to show respect to the god and also to bring the divine within closer to our hearts. Aarti is also performed at night, but it is more common in the morning because it is believed that it brings with it the freshness of the day.
