The story

Akshaya Tritiya: significance and rituals

'Akshaya' means imperishable — anything started or bought on this day is believed to bring lasting prosperity. It is considered an automatic muhurat — the entire day is auspicious.

Rituals

Buy gold or start new ventures. Perform Vishnu and Lakshmi puja. Donate food, clothes, and money. Many weddings are held on this day without consulting muhurat.
