Maa Sidheshwari Jagran Mandal

We are based in Deep Enclave, over at 2 C in Ashok Vihar Phase III. Our main thing is organizing jagrans and religious musical events for people in the area. It’s a lot of coordination, really. We have to make sure the singers are ready, the instruments are in good shape, and the sound system is working right. It isn’t always perfect—sometimes a speaker acts up or someone is running late because of traffic—but we always manage to get the event going. We spend a lot of our time in this little office planning out the calendar and talking to families who want to host a function. It’s nice to be part of something that brings people together for a night of singing and prayers. We aren't a big event company with hundreds of staff. It is just a small group of us who enjoy the music and the spiritual side of it. The office in Deep Enclave is where we keep all our gear and where we meet up to discuss the next program. People usually find out about us through word of mouth after seeing us at a neighbor’s house. We just try to keep the traditions alive in our own way without making it too complicated or polished. It’s hard work, especially the late nights that go into the early morning, but it’s what we do and we’ve gotten used to the rhythm of it.
