The Saptarishi Arati is a powerful process believed to have been imparted by Lord Shiva to his seven disciples, the Saptarishis, as a method to invoke His grace. The process which has been kept alive for thousands of years in its undiluted form has been conducted for hundreds of years at the famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi.
