About this image

The nine flames of the Navratri akhand jyoti burn with a steady light that does not go out for nine entire nights and days -- this is the central devotional act of Navratri, this undying lamp, and this beautifully composed HD image captures it in all its sacred warmth. The ornate brass lamp with nine individual flames representing the nine nights of the festival is wreathed in red rose petals and golden marigold flowers -- the classic offerings of Hindu puja. Nearby, the kumkum tilak mark, the sacred red thread (mauli), and the sindoor box speak of the full puja ritual being performed with devotion. Soft golden bokeh light particles float upward from the flames like tiny prayers ascending. A rangoli design on the dark stone floor frames the composition in the ancient geometric language of auspiciousness. The akhand jyoti (undying flame) is one of the most sacred acts of Navratri. "Akhand" means unbroken, undivided, eternal -- the flame that is lit at the start of Navratri must not be extinguished until the ninth night. Families take turns in shifts to ensure the lamp is never left unattended. The flame is understood as the divine presence of Devi herself -- as long as it burns, She is present in the home. Marigolds (genda phool) have been the premier offering flower of Hindu worship for millennia -- their golden color associates them with the sun and divine light, and their strong fragrance is said to please the gods. Red roses carry the energy of love and auspiciousness. This Navratri wishes wallpaper is perfect for sharing on WhatsApp during the festival. Free HD download.
