Shikharband Mandir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the Swaminarayan Hindu philosophy, a Shikharband Mandir is one where idols are installed and all rituals are performed on the idols.

On a normal day, five Aarti's take place in a Shikharband Mandir:

• Mangla Aarti - performed before sunrise

• Shangar Aarti - performed after God has adorned His clothes

• Rajbhog Aarti - performed after the noon offering of food

• Sandhya Aarti - performed at dusk before sunset

• Shayan Aarti - performed before God rests for the night
