Mantras · Lord Shiva
Karpur Gauram Karunavataram
कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं संसारसारं भुजगेन्द्रहारम्। सदा वसन्तं हृदयारविन्दे भवं भवानीसहितं नमामि॥
Meaning
I bow to Shiva, white as camphor, the embodiment of compassion, the essence of the world, who wears the king of serpents as a garland and always dwells in the lotus of the heart, together with Bhavani.
When it is recited
Recited after the aarti in most temples and homes, while the aarti plate is waved.
