This Aarti is unique because it worships a book (The Ramayana/Ramcharitmanas) rather than an idol. It is essential before or after reading the Ramayana (Akhand Ramayan Path). It acknowledges that the scripture is not just paper, but the living breath of the Saints.

• Select a clean, distraction-free spot. • Light a diya (lamp) and incense sticks. • Offer fresh flowers to the idol or picture. • Place the Ramayan book on a wooden stand (Chauki). • Adorn the book with a flower garland. • Perform the Aarti to the book itself, treating it as a living deity.
