Namaste & welcome to the capital of India, New Delhi. Just a century ago, the British moved the seat of their empire from Kolkata to Delhi and it has been the Capital of India ever since. With its rich history that goes back many centuries, Delhi showcases an ancient culture. Being the Seat of many Powerful Empires in the past we can trace this today from its many carefully-preserved monuments, ancient forts and tombs. The city is as old as the epic Mahabharata. This town was known as Indraprastha, where the Pandavas used to live. |

Morning prayers typically begin before dawn, usually around 5:00 AM to 5:30 AM, depending on the time of sunrise. It's advisable to arrive at the ghat a little earlier to find a good spot to witness the ceremony. As the first light of day breaks, the priests perform a highly choreographed ritual. They chant mantras, make offerings to the Ganges, and sway brass lamps in a synchronized manner. The sight of multiple lamps illuminating the pre-dawn darkness is both mesmerizing and spiritually uplifting. The Ganga Aarti is a symbolic act of devotion to the river Ganges, which is considered sacred and purifying in Hinduism. Devotees believe that witnessing this ceremony and participating in it can cleanse one's sins and bring spiritual blessings. |
