Today in most of the regions of Northern India a festival called "Ahoi ashtami" is celebrated. on this day the mothers keep fast till night for her children. it is not allowed to scold children on this day. the children are allowed to do whatever they like on this day. during evening puja the small children are gifted with some toys, clothes and sweets of various kinds. the mother completes the fast after watching the stars in sky at night. very wonderful day. :)

Mothers won't scold their children on any festival or an auspicious day in my place.
This festival is not celebrated in Kolkata. Thanks Arjun for sharing this with all of us. This festival is very interesting. It is somewhat like Children's Day.
