About Aarti Tukarama. Aarti Tukarama is the short, cherished aarti sung in honour of Sant Tukaram, the seventeenth-century Warkari saint-poet of Dehu near Pune. Tradition attributes it to Rameshwar Bhatt, a Brahmin scholar who is said to have cast Tukaram's notebooks of abhangas into the Indrayani river to test him; when the notebooks resurfaced unharmed after thirteen days, Rameshwar Bhatt became a devotee, and its two verses recall that miracle and describe him bowing at Tukaram's feet. It is sung with a lit lamp at Tukaram's samadhi in Dehu and in Warkari homes across Maharashtra, especially during Tukaram Beej.
