Aaj Ka Panchang (Today's Panchang), 13 October 2025: Today is the Ashtami Tithi of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) of the month of Kartika, and this date is called Ahoi Ashtami. This date is considered special for mothers because on this day, Ahoi Mata is worshipped and prayed for the long life and prosperity of their children. The festival of Ahoi Ashtami falls four days after Karva Chauth, and Diwali is also celebrated on the same day. On this day, mothers worship Ahoi Mata, a form of Goddess Parvati. The word Ahoi means Mother who transforms the impossible into possible. Worshipping the Mother on Ashtami calms the planet Rahu and brings auspicious results.

Rahu is the ruler of Ashtami Tithi, which is considered the cause of obstacles, unexpected events, and problems related to children. Meanwhile, the ruling planet of Monday is the Moon. The Moon represents the mind, mother, water, and emotions. Fasting on Monday and the Ashtami Tithi bestows the blessings of Lord Shiva and Ahoi Mata. Furthermore, the placement of Rahu and the Moon in the horoscope is also auspicious. Fasting on Monday calms restlessness and eliminates mental illness and lunar defects. Fasting on this day and observing star-gazing after sunset calms Rahu's defects. On Monday, offer milk mixed with water to the Shivalinga and perform aarti during the Pradosh period. Learn from the almanac about the auspicious time, yoga, sunrise, sunset, Rahu period, Dishashool, moonrise, moonset, and more for Ahoi Ashtami.
