Aarti is a Hindu religious ritual of worship, a part of puja, in which light (usually from a flame) is offered to one or more deities.
Aarti is derived from the Sanskrit word आरात्रिक (ArAtrika) which means something that removes rātrī, darkness (or light waved in darkness before an icon).

Durga Puja is one of the Hindu festivals of India, which is celebrated massively all over India. We celebrate Durga Puja in autumn. We worship Goddess Durga, who killed Mahishasura, symbolizing the victory over evil. Goddess Durga is worshipped for three days, and on the fourth day, we immerse her in the water
On the one hand, the worship of Bagdevi ( the goddess of learning) falls today.
On the other hand, the celebration of love also clashes. Homes, schools, colleges, and universities resonated with melodious hymns dedicated to Goddess Saraswati from the early hours of the morning.
Basically the period till the middle of February is celebrated as the season of love. Somewhat coincidentally, this February 14 is even more significant.
The image of the city today is largely different due to the worship of Goddess Saraswati. Compared to other years, Valentine's camaraderie and love practically braved the overflowing crowd of youngsters at Saraswati Puja in the city today.
La Pooja o Puja pratica fondamentale induista, nel culto di una divinità è l’adorazione, l’omaggio, l’atto di mostrare rispetto a un dio, ad uno spirito, o ad un altro aspetto del divino attraverso invocazioni, preghiere, canti e rituali.
Una parte essenziale della puja per il devoto indù sta nella connessione spirituale con il divino. Il più delle volte il contatto è facilitato attraverso un oggetto, un elemento della natura, una scultura, un dipinto o una stampa.
Durante la puja la divinità è invitata a discendere in una immagine ed è trattata come un’ospite. Questa icona non è la divinità stessa, piuttosto, si crede di essere riempito con l’energia cosmica della divinità. Si tratta di un punto focale per onorare e comunicare con il dio. Per i devoti induisti il merito artistico dell’icona è importante, ma è secondario al suo contenuto spirituale. Gli oggetti vengono creati come recipienti per l’energia spirituale che permettono al devoto di sperimentare la comunicazione diretta con le sue divinità.

Objects are created as vessels for spiritual energy that allow the devotee to experience direct communication with his deities.

In so many ways the child is me. And in so many ways, I am lost.

I was kinda happy with the wide angle composition of this photo ..but it was little over exposed due to the continues change of lighting condition..and reason for that was random rays through the moving clouds. So I had to work for a very long (really long) time to create the same effect I am trying to give the series.
