Akshaya Tritiya Significance
Akshaya Tritiya is one of the most auspicious festivals in Hindu religion. Traditionally, this day falls during the Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the month of Vaishakha and is closely associated with Lord Vishnu, the preserver in the Hindu Trinity. Devotees engage in various sacred rituals such as Japa (chanting), Yajna (sacrifice), and Dan-Punya (charity) to secure blessings that are believed to last forever. Moreover, it also marks the historical commencement of the Treta Yuga.
Economically, Akshaya Tritiya sees a surge in gold sales, as buying gold on this day is thought to bring continued wealth and prosperity. Jewelers across the country prepare months in advance for this day, offering special discounts and launching new collections to attract customers.
