Ahoi Ashtami 2024: Fasting and Rituals 

Ahoi Ashtami is observed four days after Karwa Chauth, where mothers pray for their children's health and happiness. Similar to Karwa Chauth, mothers observe a strict fast, refraining from food and water from sunrise until they sight the stars in the evening, or in some cases, the moon. The day-long fast is broken after completing the aarti and puja to Goddess Ahoi Ashtami Bhagwati, a re-incarnation of Goddess Parvati, who is worshipped for protecting their children. 

Originally, the fast was observed for the well-being of sons, but today it is performed for both sons and daughters.
