अहोई अष्टमी

Ahoi Ashtami

Next: Sunday, 1 November 2026.

Ahoi Ashtami falls four days after Karva Chauth. Mothers fast for the long life of their children, draw Ahoi Mata — with the seh (porcupine) and her cubs — on the wall in geru, hear the katha in the evening and break the fast after seeing the stars.

Dates are calculated for Kurukshetra; local panchangs may differ by a day when a tithi spans two sunrises.
