Arti ritual being conducted at the Swaminarayan mandir, Vadtal by an ascetic

Jay Sadguru Swami is the arti sung at Swaminarayan Sampradaya mandirs. This arti was composed by Muktanand Swami on 5 November 1802.[1] During the arti, a lighted lamp is waved before murtis, representations of Swaminarayan and other deities.[2] In shikharbaddha mandirs, arti is performed five times a day; in dev mandirs, also known as Hari mandirs, arti is performed in the morning and evening only.[3]
