Prathamastami (Odia: ପ୍ରଥମାଷ୍ଟମୀ or ପଢୁଆଁଷ୍ଟମୀ) is a rite held in Odisha for the life and prosperity of the eldest child who is offered a lighted lamp ovation by the senior female relatives followed by elaborate rituals during which the Mantras are recited.
The celebration falls on the dark half-eighth day - Ashtami - of the month of Margashirsha according to the calendar followed in Odisha, occurring after the eight days of Kartik Purnima.
The maternal uncles, who are labeled as ‘Ashtami Bandhu’ present them with new clothes along with sweets and delicacies. The family, especially mothers pray for the well-being and long life of the firstborn son or daughter as it is a belief that the first child becomes the flagbearer of responsibilities in the family after the death of parents.
