When it is sung or recited
When it is sung: At the end of a Ganesha puja, while a lamp is waved before the image. It is sung especially on Ganesh Chaturthi, on Sankashti Chaturthi (the monthly fourth-day observance for Ganesha) and on Wednesdays, and many families also sing it in the puja that begins a new venture.
Meaning
The aarti first introduces Ganesha as the son of Parvati and Mahadeva (Shiva), and that couplet returns after every verse. The verses describe how he is recognized: one tusk, four arms, red sindoor (vermilion powder) on his forehead and a mouse as his mount. Devotees offer betel leaf, flowers, dried fruit and laddus, and saints serve him. One verse names the things people have traditionally asked of him, such as sight, health, children and prosperity. The closing verses ask him to protect the dignity of the humble, to fulfil sincere wishes and to make the singer's service fruitful.
Please note
Traditional; no composer is reliably known (one verse carries the signature name 'Sur'). Wording and order vary between families and printed booklets: some sing 'phal chadhe' or 'haar chadhe' instead of 'phool chadhe', some place the verses in a different order, and some leave out the 'Deenan ki laaj rakho' verse.
