Akshaya Tritiya 2024 Date: Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, holds significant importance and is considered a sacred day for Hindus. It occurs during the bright half of the lunar month of Vaishakha. Akshaya Tritiya coinciding with a Wednesday and the Rohini Nakshatra is regarded as especially auspicious. The term 'Akshaya' implies perpetual or never diminishing. Therefore, any spiritual practices such as Japa, Yajna, Pitra-Tarpan, or Dan-Punya performed on this day are believed to yield eternal benefits that remain with the individual indefinitely.
In addition, Akshaya Tritiya is believed to bring good fortune and success. Many people choose to buy gold on this day, as it is believed that purchasing gold brings prosperity and enhances wealth in the future. Since it is an Akshaya day, the gold bought on this occasion is believed to never diminish but rather continue to appreciate over time.
This day is associated with Lord Vishnu, the preserver deity in the Hindu Trinity. According to Hindu mythology, the Treta Yuga, one of the four ages in Hindu cosmology, commenced on Akshaya Tritiya. Typically, Akshaya Tritiya and Parashurama Jayanti, the birth anniversary of the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, coincide, although depending on the starting time of the Tritiya Tithi, Parashurama Jayanti might fall one day before Akshaya Tritiya.
