ganpati aarti

// श्री गणपतीची आरती // 
स्ववरवंशी - performed by Sudha Subbaraman w/chorus, Adwait Ranade

सुखकर्ता दु:खहर्ता वार्ता विघ्नाची/ नुरवी पुरवी प्रेम कृपा जयाची // 
सर्वांगी सुंदर उटी शेंदुराची / कंठी झळके माळ मुक्ताफळांची // 1 // 
जय देव जय देव जय मंगलमूर्ती // दर्शनमात्रे मन कामना पुरती // धृ // 

रत्नखचीत फरा तुझ गौरीकुमरा / चंदनची उटी कुमकुम केशरा // 
हिरे जडीत मुकुट शोभतो बरा/ ऋण झून तेणु पुरी चरणी घागरिया// 2 // 
जय देव जय देव जय मंगलमूर्ती //दर्शनमात्रे मन कामना पुरती // 

लंबोदर पीतांबर फणिवर बंधना / सरळ सोंड वक्रतुंड त्रिनयना // 
दास रामाचा वाट पाहे सदना / संकटी पावावे निर्वाणी रक्षावे सुरवरवंदना// 3 // 
जय देव जय देव जय मंगलमूर्ती / दर्शनमात्रे मन कामना पुरती //

All our wishes are fulfilled just by “darshan” (looking at the idol)

Offering you a seat studded with Ratna(jewels) for you “Gaurikumra” (son of Gauri)

Smearing you with Chandan(Sandalwood) utna(paste) and Kumkum(Red Tilak) on the head

Diamond studded crown suites you right
