One is quite well introduced to 'JAAGRANS', growing up in Northern India. Before jumping on to its criticism, we should first simply understand the term 'Jaagran' , it means to give up sleep and to remain awake to pray,and mostly attributed to 'Godess Sheranwali'.
The concept of this practice is to sacrifice comfort of sleep,and worship, and its done mostly by singing hymns praising godess Sheranwali and many other incarnations of the forementioned diety. More traditionally brought into practisce in North india but nowadays, its being carried down to the south as well. But, as it might have been a custom/tradition/practisce started with postives as all other traditions are, isn't any exception of losing both its true values and relevence.
