HOW TO PERFORM GANESH CHATURTHI AARTI
The Ganesh Chaturthi aarti is performed after the puja. To perform the aarti, you will need a plate with a burning lamp or camphor on it. You can also offer flowers, incense, and sweets to Lord Ganesha.
To begin the aarti, stand in front of Lord Ganesha’s idol and place the plate with the lamp on it in front of you. Then, sing the aarti song, waving the plate in front of the idol. You can sing the aarti song in any language that you know.
Once you have finished singing the aarti song, bow down to Lord Ganesha and seek his blessings. You can also offer him flowers, incense, and sweets at this time.
