Varanasi is a sacred city which is located on the banks of Ganga and regarded as the spiritual capital of our country. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, dating back to eleventh century BC. Here we can witness the glittering aarti ceremony at the river banks of Ganga. Ganga Aarti is the magnificent event in evenings of Varanasi. This ritual can fill our hearts with divine thoughts. It is performed daily in the evening in the holy river of gange. A group of young priests perform this ritual by the Dhashaswamedh ghat. Brass lamps are used and the mantras are chanted in front of a huge crowd. The priests performing wear the same kind of Dhothis. This aarti is performed with an idol of goddess gange, flowers, conch shell. This event starts during the sunset it takes about forty-five minutes. Some of the pilgrims gather in boats to witness this divine occurrence. The Agni pooja performed for Lord Shiva is a commitment made to himself, Mata gange, Surya and Agni (fire) and the universe. On special occasions or Tuesdays, a different kind of aarti is performed.
