Description
Immerse yourself in the spiritual and cultural essence of the Tal Barahi Temple on this Aarti Night Tour. Witness the Aarati festival on the Fewa Lake banks and learn about the temple's history.
Join in the Aarati (light-filled festival) on the Fewa Lake bank. People swarm to the "Aarati" at the Fewa Lake banks, which is located on the temple's side. The people are enthralled with this nighttime ritual, which includes reciting Vedic mantras, ringing bells, lighting oil lamps, burning incense, and a band playing classical instruments and singing hymns to the gods.
Commencing in the late afternoon, the tour commences with hotel pick-up in Pokhara, followed by a drive to the Barahi Temple situated along the Fewa Lake. Upon arrival, a guide leads a comprehensive tour of the temple complex, providing insights into its historical and religious importance. Participants then have time for independent exploration before the commencement of the aarti ceremony.
Commencing around 6 p.m., the aarti involves priests chanting prayers and waving oil lamps before the idol of Lord Shiva. The ambiance is profoundly spiritual, offering a valuable opportunity for cultural understanding. After the aarti ceremony, you will be driven back to your hotel in Pokhara.
