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.

In August 2023, Kelsea posted footage of the beginning of their relationship, sharing a throwback clip on TikTok of herself preparing for their first official date on Jan. 7, 2023.

“Happy weekend,” she captioned the post, “heres a video i sent to my best friend before my first date with chase.”

Set to her song “How Do I Do This,” which is about going on a first date after many years, Kelsea modeled her outfit in the video.

“Here’s the look, with the boots” Kelsea said while checking herself out in a full-length mirror.

Turning around to showcase her half-up, half-down hairstyle, she added, “We’ve got the hair clip, because we’re trying to be a cool girl.”

She continued speaking to an unnamed friend, explaining, “He’s picking me up and we’re going to a sushi place and I’ll call you tomorrow and for a full update.”

Taking a deep breath and raising one arm and finger in the air, she finally said, “I can do this. I can do this.”

And, after doing a little dance, she proclaimed, “It’s just a date. You just go and you just eat food and you talk about things that you do, OK?”
