Origin & Story

Composed devotional hymn (1870) · Pandit Shardha Ram Phillauri · 19th century (1870 CE)

Pandit Shardha Ram Phillauri, a scholar and freedom fighter from Punjab, composed this aarti in 1870. Originally written in the Punjabi tradition, it quickly spread across North India and eventually became the single most popular aarti in Hinduism. Its universal appeal lies in its non-sectarian language — it addresses God simply as 'Lord of the Universe' (Jagdish), making it acceptable to all Hindu traditions. Today it is virtually impossible to attend a Hindu worship ceremony in India without hearing this aarti.

✦ As told in scripture

Countless families across India have reported that regular singing of Om Jai Jagdish Hare during evening aarti has transformed their household atmosphere, bringing peace where there was discord. One of the most widely shared traditions holds that Pandit Shardha Ram himself experienced a divine vision while composing this aarti — the words came to him in a state of spiritual ecstasy, which is why the aarti carries such extraordinary spiritual power that it has unified millions of Hindu households in a single devotional practice for over 150 years.

How to Chant ॐ जय जगदीश हरे आरती

Repetitions1times

Best TimeEvery evening during sandhya (twilight) worship, or during any puja ceremony

Light a diya with ghee or oil on a plate. Stand before your home altar or temple deity. Sing the aarti while moving the lit plate in a slow clockwise circle before the deity. A bell may be rung with the other hand. After the aarti, share the flame with all family members — each person waves their hands over the flame and touches their forehead. This aarti is sung at the conclusion of virtually every Hindu worship ceremony.
