The famous evening prayer ceremony are held at Dasaswamedh Ghat everyday. The ceremony takes place on small wooden steps at the edge of the ghat. 7 young priests in vermillion sarong perform a synchronized aarti. It starts with Vedic hymns and as the holy chants reverberate in the air they blow a corn shell. Next is burning of incense sticks while simultaneously ringing prayer bells. As soon as the aarti comes to an end you are approached with the holy flame and plate full of flowers. The ceremony marks an end when priest pours water in the river and chant prayers. This is followed by people offering lamps and flower pots into the river. As the prayer concludes the lamps are immersed into the waters. A belief goes here that before this evening prayer ceremony begins if somebody leaves a lighted lamp in the holy water of Ganges, with a wish in his mind,his wish will come true soon. This act is one of the very simple yet very fulfilling and trusted.
