What to expect

  1. 1h
    Aarti is a Hindu ritual, in which light is offered to one or more deities. Aarti also refers to the songs sung in praise of the deity, when the offering of lamps is being offered.
    Hindus in India worship the river Ganges as goddess. Every evening in Varanasi, aarti is performed at the Dashashwamedh ghat. We can watch it from the ghat or from the waterside in a boat. It is a beautiful, resonant, and majestic spectacle with a very precise choreography involving rituals performed by several priests with the sound of bells, drums, cymbals, and Sanskrit mantras. The river is also worshiped with flower petals.
