Akshay Tritiya
Akshay Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is an auspicious Hindu festival celebrated on the third day of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the month of Vaisakha, typically falling in April or May. The word "Akshay" means "eternal" or "never diminishing," symbolizing the belief that anything undertaken on this day will bring lasting success and prosperity. It is considered an extremely favorable day for starting new ventures, making investments, purchasing gold, and performing religious rituals. Devotees observe fasts and offer prayers to Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, and Lord Kuber, seeking blessings for wealth and well-being. The festival is especially significant for Hindus and Jains, with many making charitable donations and engaging in acts of kindness. Akshay Tritiya is a time to celebrate new beginnings, abundance, and spiritual growth.
