    Ahoi Ashtami 2025 Vrat Vidhi

    On this sacred day, mothers observe a strict fast from dawn until dusk without consuming food or water. The fast is broken only after sighting the stars in the evening sky, symbolising divine blessings for children’s well-being. Some women choose to complete the vrat after seeing the moon at night. The occasion is also referred to as Ahoi Aathe.

    Ahoi Ashtami 2025 Puja Samagri

    The puja rituals require an image of Ahoi Mata, a vrat katha book, a water-filled kalash, flowers, incense sticks, ghee diya, roli, akshat (rice grains), turmeric, cow’s milk, dry flour, and a decorated karva. Women also include traditional items of adornment such as red chunari, bangles, sindoor, bindi, kajal, and alta as part of the rituals.

    The Importance Of The Syahu Mala

    A significant tradition during Ahoi Ashtami is the wearing of the Syahu mala. This consists of a silver locket known as Syahu, tied with red thread and worn around the neck after being sanctified with roli during puja. It is usually worn until Diwali. Symbolically, this mala is believed to bless children with long life and good health, while astrologically, the silver locket strengthens the position of the Moon and represents peace.

    Ahoi Ashtami 2025 Significance

    The observance of Ahoi Ashtami is more than a ritual for many. It is an expression of a mother’s devotion and unconditional love for her children. By fasting, praying, and offering devotion to Ahoi Mata and the stars, women seek divine blessings of health, longevity, and prosperity for their offspring.
