Ahoi Ashtami is a significant Hindu festival celebrated by mothers for the well-being and longevity of their children. It falls on the eighth day of the waning phase of the moon (Ashtami Tithi) in the Hindu month of Kartik. This auspicious day holds great importance as mothers observe a fast and perform rituals dedicated to Ahoi Mata, the goddess of fertility and motherhood.
In 2024 Ahoi Ashtami will be observed on Thursday, 24 October. On this day, mothers wake up early, take a purifying bath, and observe a strict fast from sunrise to moonrise for the welfare of their children. The fast is broken only after sighting the stars in the evening sky.
According to the legend associated with Ahoi Ashtami, there was a devout woman named Ahoi who unknowingly trapped a cub in a well while digging soil for her house. She regretted her actions and prayed fervently to Goddess Ahoi Bhagwati to forgive her and save her children. Pleased with her sincere prayers, the goddess granted her forgiveness and blessed her with prosperity and happiness. Since then, mothers observe the Ahoi Ashtami fast to seek the blessings of Ahoi Mata for the well-being of their children.
On Ahoi Ashtami, mothers perform a special puja dedicated to Ahoi Mata. They draw the image of Ahoi Mata on the wall and decorate it with vermillion, rice grains, and flowers. A small earthen pot or a pitcher filled with water is placed before the image, symbolizing the well where Ahoi Mata found the cub. Prayers and hymns are chanted, and offerings of fruits and sweets are made to seek the blessings of the goddess.
