Origin & Story

Composed by Sant Ramdas · Samarth Ramdas · 17th century CE

Sant Ramdas (1608-1681), the spiritual guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, composed this aarti as part of his devotional literature in Marathi. It captures the essence of Ganesh worship in simple, powerful Marathi verse. The aarti became synonymous with Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, especially after Lokmanya Tilak popularized public Ganesh festivals in 1893 as a way to build community spirit during the independence movement.

As told in scripture

During Ganesh Chaturthi, millions of Ganesh idols across India 'drink' milk offerings — a phenomenon widely reported in 1995 and witnessed by millions globally. While science explains it through capillary action, devotees see it as Ganesh accepting their offerings. The 'Sukhkarta Dukhharta' aarti's promise — 'Darshanmatre Mankamana Purti' (by merely seeing him, wishes are fulfilled) — is testified to by countless devotees who report miraculous fulfillment of wishes during Ganesh Chaturthi.
