A jagran in honour of Devi, the Hindu goddess.

Jāgran (जागरण) or jāgrata or jaag is a Hindu ritual, mainly prevalent in North India, consisting of all-night vigil, songs and dance in honour of a deity and puja. Often, jagran is performed in honour of various Hindu goddesses (Devi), Shiva as well as various folk deities like Khandoba^[1] and Devnarayan.^[2] Devotees worship the deity throughout night by singing bhajans, reciting aarti and listening to legends of the deity.^[3]
