Akshaya Tritiya Significance:
Akshaya Tritiya, or Akha Teej, is a highly auspicious and holy day for Hindus. It occurs in the month of Vaishakha during Shukla Paksha Tritiya. Akshaya Tritiya on a Rohini Nakshatra day, preferably Wednesday, is considered very auspicious. 'Akshaya' means "never diminishing." As a result, the benefits of performing any Japa, Yajna, Pitra-Tarpan, or Dan-Punya on this day never diminish and last forever.
Akshaya Tritiya is thought to bring good fortune and success. Most people buy gold on this day because it is believed that doing so will bring them prosperity and wealth in the future. Being Akshaya day it is believed that Gold, bought on this day, will never diminish and would continue to grow or appreciate.
The day of Akshaya Tritiya is ruled by God Vishnu, the preserver God in the Hindu Trinity. Treta Yuga, according to Hindu mythology, began on Akshaya Tritiya. Usually, Akshaya Tritiya and Parashurama Jayanti, the birthday anniversary of Lord Vishnu's sixth incarnation, fall on the same day, but depending on the starting time of Tritiya Tithi, Parashurama Jayanti may fall one day before Akshaya Tritiya.
Vedic astrologers regard Askshay Tritiya as an auspicious day free of all malevolent effects. According to Hindu Electional Astrology, three lunar days, Yugadi, Akshaya Tritiya, and Vijay Dashami, do not require any Muhurta to begin or complete any auspicious work because they are free of all malefic effects.
