Ahoi Ashtami, an important Hindu festival, will be celebrated on October 24, 2025. This day is dedicated to the well-being and longevity of children, and is primarily observed by mothers in North India. The festival involves fasting from dawn to dusk, during which women worship Ahoi Mata and break their fast upon sighting the stars. The puja is conducted with great devotion, and the rituals are steeped in tradition. Ahoi Ashtami falls on the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha in the Kartik month, marking it as one of the most revered festivals in the Hindu calendar.
