“Our guide- Ramesh, during the Aarati Tour was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, he made the experience feel warm, insightful, and truly special. He explained the meaning and significance of the Aarati ceremony with great depth and passion, helping us understand not just what was happening, but why it mattered to the local people.
