On the third day of Navratri, “aarti” was performed in the morning at temples all over the nation. ‘Aarti’ was performed early in the morning at the Chhatarpur Temple in Delhi as well. While a sizable crowd of devotees gathered to offer prayers and participate in the morning aarti, the temple’s “pujaris” recited prayers to Goddess Durga. Aarti was performed at Mumbai’s Mumba Devi Temple in Maharashtra to start the third day of the nine-day Hindu festival of Navratri. During the aarti, the temple resounded with the sounds of the bell and other instruments.
