Aradhana meaning
Aradhana (आराधना) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Worship, adoration, propitiation of the gods
Aradhana (आराधना) is the Sanskrit ārādhanā, which Monier-Williams defines as worship, adoration and the propitiation of the gods. It comes from ā-rādh, "to win over" or "to propitiate", and the related ārādhana also means homage and accomplishment. In Hindi it is the usual word for devoted worship. Name lists give "worship", matching the dictionary. Aradhana is also the title of a 1969 Hindi film.
