KalashtamiAshtami
The monthly Ashtami observances. Masik Durgashtami in the bright fortnight is the household's monthly Durga observance and the monthly echo of Maha Ashtami in Navaratri. Kalashtami in the dark fortnight belongs to Bhairava and is kept in the night.

Ahoi Ashtami
Especially observed across North India and Punjab.
A mothers' vrat, kept for the wellbeing and long life of one's children. The fast runs through the day and is broken in the evening, in many families only after the stars are seen — and in some, after moonrise.
