Aarti at home is performed for gods and goddesses worshipped
in the puja room. Here is a brief idea on how to do simple aarti at home during
puja.
Aarti should be performed before murtis (idols or paintings)
in home after worship and offerings to them are over.
The procedure is to do aarti four times at the feet of the
murti, twice at the navel, once in front of the face and seven times before the
entire murti.
The aarti plate should contain five small vessels with
single wick in each of them. They all should be lighted. It must be noted that
you can also perform aarti even with a single lamp.
