Normally, the arati is done just after we chant the slokas for mahaa niraajana and karpura deepa. All the devotees sing the arati bhajan, while one by one each person comes and shows arati. The arati plate normally has 5 small diyas (with cotton balls dipped in oil and with a ne tiri -end). Some kumukum and owers should also be kept in the plate. The arati is done at the puja altar, accompanied by the ghanta (bell; Note: keep the sund level within the connes of the room) and once everyone completes the arati, we take it to the regular altar (assuming these are dierent), show it there, come back and oer arati to the bell. We also oer kumkum and owers to the bell, prostrate and then oer the arati to the devotees. (warning: take care against live ame re hazard) Here, all pujas are attended by minimum 40 to max 100+. So we have one or 2 aratis depending on the size of the crowd. Since this takes a lot of time, while the devotees oer the arati, the people who are doing the puja complete all other slokas upto the mantra pushpam. Once the arati is over we chant the mantra pushpam after which everybody oers akshata or owers at the altar. After the visarjana puja, we oer a karpura arati in a similar fashion.but briey
