Worship, prayer, or a ritual of light
Arthi is a name of Sanskrit origin that refers to a Hindu religious ritual of worship in which light from wicks soaked in ghee or camphor is offered to one or more deities. It symbolizes the removal of darkness and the expression of devotion. While traditionally a ritual name, it has become a popular feminine given name in India and among the diaspora.
