The Annapurna Aarti glorifies Maa Annapurna, the form of Goddess Parvati who is the giver of food and nourishment to the whole world. Presiding over the holy city of Kashi (Varanasi) beside Lord Vishwanath, she holds a bowl of food and a ladle, ensuring that no devotee who remembers her ever goes hungry. Worshippers sing this aarti to seek abundance, prosperity and the assurance that their home will never lack food or grace.

Origin & Story

Traditional North Indian devotional aarti (Aarti Sangrah); the deity Annapurna is glorified in the Annapurna Stotram attributed to Adi Shankaracharya · Traditional / Anonymous · Medieval to modern

Annapurna, the food-giving form of Parvati, is the presiding goddess of Kashi (Varanasi), where her temple stands beside that of Lord Kashi Vishwanath. According to tradition, Shiva himself approached her with a begging bowl to teach the world that food and matter are sacred and not mere illusion. This aarti, sung across North Indian homes and temples, celebrates her as the inexhaustible nourisher who ensures that no devotee goes hungry.

✦ As told in scripture

It is traditionally believed that in the kitchen of one who worships Annapurna with faith, food and grain never run short; even Lord Shiva, the supreme ascetic, had to come to Kashi with a begging bowl to receive nourishment from the Mother, showing that she alone sustains all that lives.

Annapurna is the form of Goddess Parvati as the giver of food and nourishment ('anna' means food, 'purna' means full). She is the queen of Kashi (Varanasi), depicted holding a bowl of rice-pudding and a golden ladle, and is the consort of Lord Shiva in his form as Vishwanath.

It is said that when Shiva declared the material world to be mere illusion (maya), Parvati, as the sustainer of all bodies, withdrew, and the world began to starve. Realising that food and matter are real and sacred, Shiva himself came to Kashi with a begging bowl, and Parvati appeared as Annapurna to feed him — establishing her as the eternal nourisher of all beings.

It is sung daily in Annapurna temples, and with special devotion on Annapurna Jayanti (the full-moon day of Margashirsha month) and on Akshaya Tritiya, which is associated with never-diminishing abundance.

It teaches gratitude for food as a divine gift and reminds devotees that the same Mother who fills our plate fills the whole universe. Worshipping Annapurna naturally inspires anna-daan — the feeding of others — which is considered one of the highest forms of charity.
