Madhyahn Aarti Part I

[Guest guest]

The Aartis are sung in-group by all devotees present at the prescribed hours in

Shirdi. In most of the Sai temples in India, the same Aartis are usually sung.

Aarti consists of devotional songs written in Marathi and Sanskrit shlokas. The

English translation is nearest to the meaning of these songs.
