Ganga Aarti in Haridwar — Book Verified Pandits | Darshya
Authentic Ganga Mata worship performed in Haridwar by verified Vedic pandits. Live video proof, samagri included, prasad delivered.
What is Ganga Aarti?
Deity: Ganga Mata
Scriptural basis: Ganga Stotram by Adi Shankaracharya, Ganga Sahasranama. The current-form Ganga Aarti at Har-ki-Pauri was instituted in 1916 by Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya and has since been organised twice daily by Shri Ganga Sabha.
Intent: Performed for ancestral peace (pitra tarpan), self-purification, fulfillment of vows, and to honor the Ganga as mother.
Why perform it in Haridwar?
Har-ki-Pauri (literally "footstep of Hari/Vishnu") is the most sacred bathing ghat on the Ganga in Haridwar. The evening Ganga Aarti is performed at sunset daily and is one of India's most witnessed religious ceremonies. The puja is conducted at Har-ki-Pauri Ghat by our affiliated Vedic pandits.
