In the Hindu lunar calendar, Ashtami Tithi holds significant spiritual and cultural importance, occurring twice a month - once during Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) and once during Krishna Paksha (waning moon). Shukla Paksha Ashtami, falling on the eighth day after the full moon, is considered auspicious for initiating new endeavors and strengthening relationships, while Krishna Paksha Ashtami, occurring eight days after the new moon, is ideal for introspection, spiritual growth, and releasing negative energies. Both Ashtami Tithis are sacred to Lord Bhairav and Goddess Durga, with devotees observing fasting, meditation, and rituals to seek their blessings.
