Ahoi Ashtami Mothers Vrat Kit

The mother’s nirjala fast for her children — a week before Karwa Chauth, with the same emotional intensity. Ahoi Ashtami is the Krishna Paksha Ashtami vrat in Kartik month, observed by mothers for their children’s health and longevity. The Ahoi/Syau silver pendant is the ritual centrepiece: it depicts the Ahoi Mata image (seven sons and a hedgehog/syahi), and the mother draws this image on the wall and worships it at star-rise. Twelve items including the Ahoi pendant — the one item that makes this kit irreplaceable. The earthen karwa pot serves the star-rise water offering. The Katha book tells the story of Ahoi Mata and the hunter’s wife, read aloud during the puja. Ahoi Ashtami falls 8 days before Diwali and 4 days after Karwa Chauth. For importers, it is the second mother’s vrat in a two-week window: the customer who bought Karwa Chauth buys Ahoi Ashtami the following week. Stock both together. The emotional driver is identical to Karwa Chauth — a mother’s love for her children, expressed through fasting. Available for private label with custom packaging. MOQ on request.
