Who is awake?

The name comes from "ko jagarti", which means "who is awake?". The story goes that Lakshmi moves around on this night asking that question, and blesses the homes where people are awake. Families do a Lakshmi and Indra puja in the evening and stay up late with games, songs and stories.

Masala milk under the moon

The custom everyone remembers is the milk. Milk is boiled down with sugar, saffron, cardamom and chopped almonds and pistachios, then left in the moonlight for a while before it is shared. Housing societies in Pune and Mumbai often hold a common Kojagiri evening on the terrace. In many homes the eldest child (the first-born) is honoured with an aukshan, an aarti, on this night.
