About Kathmandu: Pashupatinath Temple Evening Aarati Tour
At the Pashupatinath Temple, a mesmerizing ritual called the Pashupati Bagmati Aarati takes place. This ritual happens on the side of the holy Bagmati River, which flows by the temple. It's believed that bathing in this river washes away sins.
During the Aarati, priests perform a worship ritual with oil lamps, chanting sacred words. They move the lamps in circular motions, symbolizing devotion to the Divine. Devotees sing religious songs called Bhajans, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
The Aarati starts every evening at 6 pm, inviting everyone to join and connect with God. The Bagmati Aarati began in 2000 and became a regular tradition in 2006. It attracts thousands of people each year.
Aarati holds significant value in Hinduism, being the highest form of prayer. At Pashupatinath, the Aarati honors the holy river and temple. Followers also perform a divine dance called "Tandav," paying homage to Lord Shiva.
Many people visit during holidays, Mondays, and festivals, especially Maha Shivaratri and Haritalika Teej. The Aarati reflects Hindu beliefs in the presence of God in all living beings and emphasizes collective well-being. It ends with prayers for the wellness of all souls and gratitude towards God's kindness.
