The Jitiya festival, also known as Jitiya or Jitiya Vrat, is celebrated on the Ashtami (eighth day) of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the month of Ashwin, according to the Hindu calendar. In 1984, this date corresponded to October 11. The festival is observed primarily by women in parts of Bihar and other regions to pray for the well-being and long life of their sons.
