Mangala Aarti

​

Mangala Aarti is the first Aarti of the day, offered before sunrise between 3 am to 4 am everyday. It is one of the major attractions of Kashi Vishwanath Temple because everyone who attends it , is allowed to offer prayers and go near the deity. Since all floral offerings are removed, the devotees can see the original Lingam in all its grandeur. The ritual is followed by Abhishekam, where the Lingam is again decorated with fresh garlands and flowers. After this prasad is distributed.
