A radiant and deeply spiritual original painting capturing the Ganga Aarti — one of the most spectacular and moving ceremonies in India. Mina renders the evening ritual on the sacred ghats of Varanasi with extraordinary warmth and energy, the river glowing with the light of hundreds of oil lamps as priests perform the ancient fire offering to the sacred Ganges.

Performed every evening at sunset, the Ganga Aarti at Varanasi draws thousands of pilgrims and visitors from around the world. This painting captures the ceremony at its most luminous and alive — a work of devotion, colour, and light that brings the sacred energy of the Ganges into your home.
