Mantrapushpanjali (Sanskrit, Devanagari मंत्रपुष्पांजलि, IAST mantrapuṣpāñjali, IPA \mɐn̪t̪rɐpuɕpɑːɲɟɐli\) is a popular prayer in India, it is the unique prayer of hindus and it means “offering flowers in the form of mantra”. It comprises four hymns from Vedic sources, and is the final prayer sung at the end of āratīs. The word Mantrapushpanjali is made up of three elements, mantra (incantation), pushpa (flower), and anjali (a bowl-shaped cavity formed by hollowing and joining open palms together, as when offering or receiving alms).
Mantrapushpanjali is an appendix of a set of traditional recital called Deve (Sanskrit, Devanagari देवे ) from Shukla Yajurveda branch of Vedic tradition. The hymns of Mantrapushpanjali are chanted at an extremely slow pace, elongating all the deergha svarit (Sanskrit, Devanagari दीर्घस्वरित) accents more than usual.[1][2] [3]
