Question
How many wicks should be placed in Aarti?
Answer
Different traditions exist regarding the number of wicks used in Aarti. Generally, Aarti is performed with five wicks, known as Panchapradeep. Additionally, there are traditions of performing Aarti using one, seven, or more wicks.
Scriptures mention keeping an odd number of wicks for Aarti. Therefore, using five wicks is considered a common and prevalent method, but it is not mandatory that Aarti must only be done with five wicks.
Aarti can also be performed using ghee or camphor. In camphor Aarti, lighted camphor is offered to the deity.
In summary, while the Panchapradeep (five wicks) is the most common form, Aarti can also be performed with one, seven, or any other odd number of wicks.
