In Sikh Religion, Aarti (also spelled arti, arati, arathi, aarthi) is spiritual term which means "To Unite with". Aa means To come and Rati means To Unite. In Gurmat, Soul is genderless. The hymns are composed Soul being feminine as well as Masculine where Aarti as well as Aarta terms are used respectively. Another belief derive meaning from Sanskrit term Aratrik which means removal of Darkness.

In Hinduism, It is a religious ritual of worship in which light from wicks soaked in Ghee (purified butter) or camphor is offered to one or more deities. The songs sung in praise of the deity, when lamps are being offered.

Aarti, as performed traditionally, is generally not encouraged in Sikh Religon but it is performed in Hazur Sahib, Patna Sahib and by Nihang Sikhs. According to them, difference in their Aarti is that Sikhs do Aarti of divine wisdom, which is in form of Guru Granth Sahib. The concept is similar to bowing before Guru Granth Sahib on knees, the practice which is common in Hindus while bowing before Idols.

Amritsari Sikhs resist performing Aarti as Hindus perform, instead singing 'Aarti Kirtan', which are a few shabads from Guru Nanak, Ravidas and other Bhagats/Gurus. However, a few Sikh Gurdwaras perform Aarti in similar manner as the Hindus, with a platter, or 'Thali', while singing the above Aarti Kirtan, including two of the Panj Takhts: Thakat Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib Abchal Nagar and Thakat Sachkhand Sri Patna Sahib Harimandir Sahib.

Few Nihangs also carry out Aarti in same manner, though with more shabads from the Dasam Granth and Sarabloh Granth. According to them, difference in their Aarti is that Sikhs do Aarti of divine wisdom, which is in form of Guru Granth Sahib. The concept is similar to bowing before Guru Granth Sahib on knees, the practice which is common in Hindus while bowing before Idols.However, this being said; when bowing before the Guru Granth Sahib, (In Sikh Philosophy) You bow before the divine knowledge of the gurus, and not for its physical form, which is how the Sikh and Hindu philosophies differ. Aarti is done with a thali in Ravidassia Bhavans/Gurdwaras that still house the Guru Granth Sahib.
