Aarti is a Hindu ritual to honor a specific deity, or manifestation of ultimate reality ("Brahman").

Common deities honored include Vishnu, Shiva, Durga, Lakshmi, Ganesh, Saraswati, Krishna, Rama, and Kali, who each represent a different aspect of ultimate reality.

To do it, light a candle or an oil lamp ("diya") and move it in a clockwise circular motion in front of a deity's image or idol to invoke their blessings.

The light of the flame represents knowledge and wisdom, illuminating the darkness of ignorance and untruth.
