🔥 South India Aartis – Light as Worship, Silence as Prayer

In South India, the term “Aarti” is often known as Deepārādhana or Mangala Harathi, offered during pujas and utsavams in temples of Vishnu, Shiva, Devi, and Murugan. These rituals are marked by lamp offerings, mantras, and classical ragas rather than bhajans. The mood is more ritualistic, Vedic, and precise, preserving Agamic traditions. Temples like Tirupati, Madurai, and Udupi offer awe-inspiring deepa-sevas daily.
