Ahoi Ashtami 2025: Vrat katha and significance

On the auspicious occasion of Ashoi Ashtami, it is considered extremely important to recite the Ahoi Ashtami katha. Per Drik Panchang, long ago, a devoted woman accidentally killed baby hoglets while collecting soil for Diwali.

Soon after, her seven sons disappeared. Grieving and repentant, she prayed to Goddess Ahoi Bhagawati on Kartik Krishna Ashtami, fasting and sketching the hoglet’s face. Pleased with her devotion, the Goddess restored her sons. Since then, mothers observe Ahoi Ashtami for their children’s well-being.

According to Hindu beliefs, the Ahoi Ashtami fast is broken during twilight after sighting stars in the sky. Some women also break the fast after sighting the moon, but it might be difficult to follow as the moon rises late in the night on Ahoi Ashtami.
