Khatu Shyam Ji Aarti Lyrics in Hindi

Singing the Khatu Shyam Ji Aarti is the ultimate expression of surrender. Here are the traditional lyrics:

ॐ जय श्री श्याम हरे, बाबा जय श्री श्याम हरे।
खाटू धाम विराजत, अनुपम रूप धरे॥ ॐ जय श्री श्याम हरे...


रत्न जड़ित सिंहासन, सिर पर चंवर ढुरे।
तन केसरिया बागो, कुण्डल श्रवण पड़े॥ ॐ जय श्री श्याम हरे...

गल पुष्पों की माला, सिर पर मुकुट धरे।
खेचत चाप सुदर्शन, बाण अनूप धरे॥ ॐ जय श्री श्याम हरे...

कुण्ड का पावन वारि, पाप समूल हरे।
जो ध्यावे सो पावे, संकट दूर करे॥ ॐ जय श्री श्याम हरे...

लड्डू पेड़ा का भोग लगत, खीर अनूप बने।
सेवक जन गुण गावत, अनहद नाद बजे॥ ॐ जय श्री श्याम हरे...

शरण पड़े की लाज राखत, संकट दूर करे।
'हरीश' शरण में बाबा, निज चरणों में धरे॥ ॐ जय श्री श्याम हरे...

ॐ जय श्री श्याम हरे, बाबा जय श्री श्याम हरे।
खाटू धाम विराजत, अनुपम रूप धरे॥

Spiritual Significance & Meaning

The aarti describes the celestial and royal appearance of Baba Shyam at his seat in Khatu Dham. The verses highlight the beautiful saffron dress (Bago), the heavy ear jewelry (Kundal), the crown (Mukut), and the flower garland (Mala) that decorate his form. It also refers to the highly sacred pond (Shyam Kund) whose water is believed to wash away sins. Reciting these verses with pure intention helps clear mental clutter, instills peaceful vibes in the household, and brings a sense of protective guidance.

Best Time to Recite Aarti at Home

In traditional Hindu temples, the deity is worshipped with five aartis daily, but for home temples, you can easily establish a routine of doing it twice a day:

  • Pratah Kaal (Morning Aarti): Done during sunrise (typically between 6:00 AM and 7:30 AM) after bathing the deity, offering fresh water, and applying fresh chandan tilak.
  • Sandhya Kaal (Evening Aarti): Recited immediately after sunset (between 6:30 PM and 7:45 PM) accompanied by lighting a ghee lamp (diya) and burning incense.

For deep devotional benefits, read the Khatu Shyam Ji Chalisa right before starting the aarti, and chant the daily Khatu Shyam Ji Mantra using a Tulsi mala.

How to Prepare a Simple Aarti Thali

Setting up an aarti thali does not require elaborate items. A simple brass, copper, or silver plate containing these essential ingredients is enough:

  1. Ghee Diya: A cotton wick placed in a clay or brass lamp filled with pure cow ghee or sesame oil.
  2. Chandan & Kumkum: Sandalwood paste and red vermillion powder for tilak.
  3. Akshat: Unbroken white rice grains representing prosperity.
  4. Pushpa: Fresh red roses, marigolds, or jasmine flowers to offer at Baba's feet.
  5. Bhog: A small bowl of sweets like sugar candy (mishri), dry fruits, or mawa peda.
