    Overview

    Ahoi Ashtami Puja for families in Durgakund

    Ahoi Ashtami falls on Kartik Krishna Ashtami, about eight days before Diwali and four days after Karva Chauth. It is widely observed in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, and by North Indian families in every city they have made home.

    Durgakund takes its name from the historic Durga temple and the large water tank, or kund, beside it. The area sits in south Varanasi between Bhelupur and Lanka, along the road that leads towards the Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple, and it has long been one of the most devotional parts of Kashi.

    Planning Your Puja in Durgakund

    Roads around the temple become very crowded during Navratri, so plan early-morning pujas and allow extra travel time.
    Book Pandits well ahead for Durga Saptashati path during Navratri, as demand is high across the city.
    Flower and samagri stalls near the temple make last-minute items easy to find.
    Guest houses may not allow a havan indoors; ask about a terrace before planning a fire ritual.
    Tuesdays and Saturdays bring extra traffic on the Sankat Mochan road.
