🏹Bhishma Ashtami - भीष्म अष्टमी

Bhishma Ashtami Date: Wednesday, 5 February 2025
Bhishma Ashtami

The date of Magh Shukla Ashtami is celebrated as the death anniversary of Bhishma Pitamah, hence this death anniversary is known as Bhishma Ashtami. Bhishma Pitamah had the boon of choosing the time of death by his own will.

Even after being greatly injured in the battle of Mahabharat, Bhishma Pitamah did not sacrifice his body on the strength of his boon. Pitamah chose the day of Magha Shukla Ashtami to relinquish his body because by this time Suryadev was beginning to depart towards Uttarayan.
