AARTI THALI / POOJA PLATE

An Aarti Thali (or Pooja Plate) is an essential item used during Hindu religious ceremonies, specifically for the aarti ritual. The thali is a flat, circular plate that holds various items needed for the puja (worship) and aarti (ritual of light). These plates are typically used for both individual prayers and temple ceremonies. The specific items placed on an Aarti Thali may vary depending on the tradition or purpose

The Aarti Thali is often beautifully decorated and can be made of various materials such as brass, copper, silver, or stainless steel, sometimes with intricate designs or embellishments. Some people even use gold-plated thalis for special occasions. The thali’s role is to carry the offerings during the ceremony, and once the aarti is completed, the items are often distributed as blessings.

In essence, the Aarti Thali helps create a sacred space for worship and ensures that the necessary offerings and rituals are conducted with respect and devotion.
