"Aarti " Nightly Spiritual ceremony
Visiting the Holiest and Oldest City in India was a very challenging experience. Hindus flock to this city by the millions to participate in many spiritual rituals and bury their dead. We watched with fascination the spiritual ceremony called Aarti. It is a Hindu fire ceremony performed by Brahmin disciples to honor the holy river, Gods and deities.
