Akshaya Tritiya is considered an auspicious day. “Akshaya” means something that never diminishes and “Tritiya” stands for third day. Akshaya Tritiya falls on the third day of the Vaisakha, the first month in the Hindu calendar. On this day the Sun and the Moon are at the height of their brightness all together. Valuables bought on this day are considered certain to bring luck and success. This day is especially important as on this day any thing you donate is shaya or never ending.
As per the Hindu mythology, Akshaya Tritiya marks the beginning of the Treta Yug. The birthday of Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Vishnu falls on this day. Due to all these reasons, this day is considered auspicious for starting new ventures and buying new things. This day is considered so auspicious that any moment of the day can be considered to be beneficial for weddings also as they can be conducted on any time of this day without in-depth study for a “shubha mahurat”. The day is believed to bring immense good luck, eternal prosperity and success in every form.
The pilgrims of Badri Kedar Yatra or the Char Dham Yatra, opens on the Akshaya Tritiya thus amplifying its significance.
