आरती
पूजाको अन्त्यमा भगवान्लाई दीप अर्पण गर्दै गाइने स्तुति।
The Sacred Flame that Banishes Darkness — A joyful, participatory ceremony where camphor or ghee lamps are waved in clockwise circles before the deity. As camphor burns without leaving any ash, it symbolizes the total surrender of the ego into divine light.
Opens with a soaring celebratory chorus (Tek/Mukhda) repeated by the congregation, alternating with descriptive stanzas praising the deity's compassionate grace, and sealing the ritual with peace mantras (Karpūra-gauraṁ).
The Evening Liturgy of Sacred Light
Directly parallels the ancient Christian monastic 'Lucernarium' (the lighting of the evening lamps accompanied by the singing of Phos Hilaron / 'Gladsome Light') to dispel nocturnal fear with divine illumination.
