O! saraswati, may I offer this auspicious light of

camphor and wick smeared with ghee.

I salute You.

(play the camphor light three times in a circular

motion before the image of saraswati.

( ���� ) (Normally, the arati is done just after

we chant the slokas for mahaa niraajana and

karpura deepa. All the devotees sing the arati

bhajan, while one by one each person comes

and gives arati. The arati plate normally has

5 small diyas (with cotton balls dipped in oil

and with a fine tiri -end). Some kumukum and

flowers should also be kept in the plate. The

arati is done at the puja altar, accompanied by

the ghanta (bell) and once everyone completes

the arati, we take it to the regular altar

(assuming these are different), show it there,

come back and offer arati to the bell. We also

offer kumkum and flowers to the bell, prostrate

and then offer the arati to the devotees.

Here, all pujas are attended by minimum 40 to

max 100+. So we have one or 2 aratis depending

on the size of the crowd. Since this takes a lot

of time, while the devotees offer the arati, the

people who are doing the puja complete all other

slokas upto the mantra pushpam. Once the arati is

over we chant the mantra pushpam after which

everybody offers akshata or flowers.

After the visarjana puja, we offer a karpura arati

in a similar fashion.)
