Budh Ashtami Puja, or also spelt as Budhashtami is a vrata dedicated to Goddess Parvati, observed on every Ashtami day that falls on Budhvar or Wednesday.
Budh Ashtami may fall either in Shukla Paksha or Krishna Pakshna in a month. Devotees observe fasting on Budh Ashtami and worship Goddess Parvati for wellbeing and prosperity.
Budhastami vrata is also performed by those who have Budha graha dosham to pacify the effect of Budha grah on their future. In 2026, Budhashtami Vrat falls multiple times.
