Jagarana information

A jagran in honour of a Devi, a Hindu goddess.

Jagarana (Sanskrit: जागरण, romanized: Jāgaraṇa),^[1] also rendered Jagran, Jagarata (Sanskrit: जगराता, romanized: Jagarātā), and Jaga is a Hindu ritual, mainly practised in North India. It comprises the performance of all-night vigils,^[2] as well as puja, songs, and dances for the veneration of a deity. A jagarana is generally performed for the veneration of Hindu goddesses, major deities such as Shiva and Krishna,^[3] as well as various folk deities like Khandoba^[4] and Devnarayan.^[5] Devotees worship the deity throughout the night by singing bhajans, performing arati, and listening to legends of the deity.^[6]
