Jagran Ki Party

With the nine-day Navratri Festival at the door, we tell you how the northern belt of the country believes in the celebration of the holiday with "Jagrans" and "Mata Ki Chowki".

As soon as the month of Navratri begins (this year, it will be from October 1 to October 10), the booking counters of various artists and singers performing during the special poojas witness an overflow of worshipers. These special poojas, which are offered during Maa Durga's nine-day festival, are called "Mata Ki Chowki" or "Jagran". However, they can also be observed in addition to "Navratras" Mata Ka Jagran.

The practice is more prevalent in the nation's capital, where various pandals, large and small, can be seen with colorful lighting and high-volume music equipment. In addition to New Delhi, there are other northern states where cultivation is vigorously practiced, particularly in the Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir (where Vaishno Devi sanctuary is located) and in parts of the country.

Mata Ki Chowki

When we describe what is considered Jagran and what Mata Ki Chowki calls, there is a very thin line between the two. Many people observe fast (abstinence from all food, solid or liquid) every nine days, while some remain on the first and last days of the nine-day festival.

Jagrans are organized by people who have expressed their desire or special wish in front of the Goddess. Once this is done, they organize a "Jagran Ki Party" to pay for their obedience before Maa Durga, thanking her for fulfilling their wishes. The family (or the head of the family), who organizes the Jagran, abs

tains from all food and observes the fast until the end of the Jagran. The entire night is usually spent singing bhajans of the goddess, praying and thanking her with clasped hands.

In "Mata Ki Chowki", the program lasts about three hours. It is organized on special events. In addition to Navratri, Mata Ki Chowki can be observed at any wedding, birthday, anniversary or even during the Ganpati celebrations.

One of the most interesting things discovered at Mata Ka Jagran and Chowkis is that they are rich in energy and food. There is enough variety of "satvik bhojan" for devotees, including fruit chat, potato flavors and even chai stalls and appetizing pani poori. In addition to food, singers and performers, who usually perform these functions, are so experienced in their performance art that they entertain you while reminding you of God.

There is enough devotional music, often associated with Bollywood rhythms, allowing people to dance and enjoy the night of Jagran and Mata Ki Chowki. In addition, there are sometimes these artists, dressed in different gods, dancing on bhajans and keeping everyone in bhakti mode.
