About Lakshmi Aarti

Aarti is a devotional offering of light accompanied by prayer or song. Many households sing “Om Jai Lakshmi Mata” or another regional aarti. Follow the text already used in your home or temple. This page provides short invocations rather than a full region-specific prayer manual.
