If you are looking for Ganesh Aarti online, we at LatestLY have got you covered! The date for the festival is usually decided by the presence of Chaturthi Thithi and is usually celebrated in the Bhadrapada month which corresponds to August or September in the Gregorian calendar. If the Chaturthi Tithi begins at night on the previous day and gets over by morning on the next day, then the next day is observed as Vinayaka Chaturthi. Ganesh Chaturthi is popularly known as Ganeshotsav in Maharashtra.

On the occasion of Ganesh Utsav, families install small clay statues at home for worship during the 10-day festival. The Ganesha idol (murti) is brought home either a day before or on the day of the Ganesh Chaturthi. Families decorate a part of the house with flowers and other colourful items before installing the idol. When the Murti is installed, it is decorated with flowers and other decorative items. The idol is then installed along with chants of holy mantras and pooja, including bhajans and Ganesh artis. Devotees offer flowers and light a diya in the morning and evening with offerings durva and modaks.

Ganesh Aarti Lyrics in English

Sukhkarta Dukhharta Varta Vighnachi; Nurvi Purvi Prem Krupa Jayachi

Sarvangi Sundar Uti Shendurachi; Kanti Jhalke Mal Mukataphalaanchi

Jaidev Jaidev… Jai Mangal Murti

Darshan Maatre Man: Kaamna Phurti

Ratnakhachit Phara Tujh Gaurikumra; Chandanaachi Uti Kumkumkeshara

Hirejadit Mukut Shobhato Bara;  Runjhunati Nupure (2) Charani Ghagriya

Jaidev Jaidev Jai Mangal Murti

Lambodar Pitaambar Phanivarvandana; Saral Sond Vakratunda Trinayana

Das Ramacha Vat Pahe Sadana; Sankati Pavave Nirvani Rakshave Survarvandana

Jaidev Jaidev Jai Mangal Murti
