Why is Akshaya Tritiya Celebrated?
The word Akshaya means "never-ending" or "eternal". Tritiya means the third lunar day. Akshaya Tritiya falls on the third day of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the month of Vaishakh.
Here’s why this day is so sacred:
Lord Vishnu’s Day: It is believed that Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, brings blessings of wealth and happiness on this day.
Birth of Parashurama: The sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Parashurama, was born on Akshaya Tritiya.
Start of Mahabharata: It is said that sage Ved Vyas began narrating the Mahabharata to Lord Ganesha on this day.
Sudama Met Krishna: Sudama, the poor friend of Lord Krishna, visited him on this day. His offering of poha was accepted with love, and Krishna blessed him with immense wealth.
Kubera and Lakshmi: Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped, and Lord Kubera, the god of wealth, is also believed to have gained his treasures on this day.
Thus, it is a day of blessings, divine energy, and new beginnings.

Rituals of Akshaya Tritiya
1. Snan (Holy Bath)
Taking a bath early in the morning, especially in a sacred river like the Ganga or Yamuna, is considered very auspicious. If a river bath isn’t possible, bathing at home while chanting mantras and praying works well.
2. Puja and Fasting
Devotees worship Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. The puja includes offering yellow flowers, tulsi leaves, rice, sandalwood paste, sweets, and lighting a ghee diya.
Fasting on this day is also common. People keep a vrat to purify the body and soul and to seek blessings.
3. Daan (Charity)
Charity is considered one of the most sacred acts on this day. Items such as clothes, grains, water, fruits, money, and utensils are donated to the needy.
Offering Sattu, Gur (jaggery), mangoes, wheat, and water pitchers is considered highly auspicious in summer.
4. Buying Gold or Silver
Purchasing gold, silver, or other valuable items is a tradition that symbolizes prosperity and good luck. It is believed that the wealth bought today will keep increasing.
5. Annadaan (Food Donation)
Feeding the poor or offering food to cows and animals brings blessings and positive karma.

Astrological Importance
On this day, the sun is in Aries and the moon is in Taurus, both in their exalted positions. This rare combination creates a powerful planetary alignment that radiates strong positive vibrations.
