Aarati and Night vigils

Aarati (major worship) of Devnarayan takes place three times daily, at 4 am, 11 am and 7 pm. Friday is the day when devotees from distant villages and cities come to visit the temple. Night vigils (jaagirn) are organised by many devotees, especially on Fridays and almost daily in the summer season. The following quote can be observed on every image of Devnarayan:
"Samvat 968 ke aansh, janam liya Gurjar ke vansh
Sadhu sati ke vachno dwara,kamal phool Dev liya avatar."
This is translated as saying that he was incarnated in the Gurjar dynasty in 911 AD to fulfill the promise he gave to Saadu Maata Gurjari.
