Ganga Maiya Ki Aarti is a sacred hymn dedicated to Goddess Ganga, the divine river revered as the life-giving and purifying mother in Hinduism. Performed during the morning and evening rituals, especially at holy ghats like Haridwar, Varanasi, and Rishikesh, the aarti celebrates Ganga’s divine presence and her ability to cleanse sins and bestow spiritual liberation. The melodious verses describe her celestial origin from Lord Vishnu’s feet and her descent to earth through Lord Shiva’s locks. Devotees gather with lamps, flowers, and prayers, offering their gratitude and seeking her blessings for prosperity, purity, and inner peace. The luminous sight of Ganga Aarti creates a deeply spiritual and uplifting atmosphere.

Har Har Gange, Jai Maa Gange,
Har Har Gange, Jai Maa Gange ॥

Om Jay Gange Mata, Shri Jay Gange Mata ।
Jo Nar Tumako Dhyata, Manavanchit Phal Pata ॥

Chandr Si Jot Tumhari Jal Nirmal Aata ।
Sharan Paden Jo Teri so Nar Tar Jata ॥
॥ Om Jay Gange Mata…॥

Putr Sagar Ke Tare Sab Jag Ko Gyata ।
Kripa Drshti Tumhari Tribhuvan Sukh Data ॥
॥ Om Jay Gange Mata…॥

Ek Hi Bar Jo Teri Sharanagati Aata ।
Yam Ki Traas Mita Kar Paramagati Pata ॥
॥ Om Jay Gange Mata…॥

Aarti Maat Tumhari Jo Jan Nity Gata ।
Das Vahi Sahaj Mein Muktti Ko Pata ॥
॥ Om Jay Gange Mata…॥

Om Jay Gange Mata Shri Jay Gange Mata ।
Jo Nar Tumako Dhyata Manavanchit Phal Pata ॥

Om Jay Gange Mata, Shri Jay Gange Mata ।
