The "Om Jai Shiv Omkara" Aarti is a devotional hymn sung in praise of Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. It is often recited during worship ceremonies and rituals dedicated to Lord Shiva, especially during the evening prayers known as Aarti.
Shiv Aarti begins with the chanting of "Om Jai Shiv Omkara," invoking Lord Shiva, who is revered as the embodiment of the eternal sound "Om" and the supreme reality. The chanting sets the tone for the devotees to offer their prayers and praises to the Lord.
The verses of the Aarti glorify Lord Shiva's attributes and manifestations. They describe Lord Shiva as the ultimate source of creation, preservation, and destruction - symbolized by the roles of Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), and Sadashiva (the eternal form of Shiva).
